Just looking for a bit of design input:
I’ve decided to use Custom Post Types primarily to organize the massive amount of content I have. I’ll eventually have over 50+ dining options, 20+ lodging options, 20+ bars, etc, and having them all under “pages” was going to be a mess. I’m now looking into creating a few custom post types (for each primary subject the site covers), with some custom taxonomies for sorting what would be their sub-categories (think Lodging Custom Post Type, with a custom taxonomy of “type” with hotel, B&B, resort, etc).
I’m a bit hung up on the url structure I want. I know I want a main HUB for each topic, such as Dining (site.com/dining), Lodging (site.com/lodging), Music (site.com/music), etc, and I want a sub-HUB for each of the “type” taxonmies (hotels, B&B, resorts, etc), but I can’t decide if the sub-HUB should be included in the URL, like so:
site.com/lodging/resorts/resort-name
OR
site.com/lodging/resort-name
The former has logical structure, breadcrumbs would work great, etc, where as the latter is a bit future-proof (if I change taxonomies, or restructure my data in any way). I can still have the sub-HUB pages to showcase all related content, but then have the actual content not include the taxonomy type in the url.
Anyone have any advice on this?
As you posted this a while ago, I hope you were able to get your issue resolved. If it is resolved, please mark this thread as “resolved”, so it can be closed.
If you are still having issues, report back here, and I will try to escalate.
I ended up going with a single custom post type of "venues", and then used the Advanced Custom Fields plugin to micromanage any other data. That gives me a url structure of site.com/venues/the-venue, which is clean, and covered all of my needs.
