I've created a CPT named "decoration products"(productos decoración), the problem concerns to it CPT.
When for the first time I created "decoration products" CPT, I realized that it needed two level taxonomy uri structure. To visually illustrate it:
Root_domain/CPT name/- This is a page that shows all "decoration products" CPT's posts.Root_domain/CPT name/category- This is an archive page that shows top level category's posts.Root_domain/CPT name/category/subcategory- This is an archive page that shows subcategory's posts.Root_domain/CPT name/category/subcategory/post-title- This is a post within a certain top category and subcategory.
I based on this post:
- wordpress.stackexchange/questions/39500/how-to-create-a-permalink-structure-with-custom-taxonomies-and-custom-post-types
to create two level taxonomy uri structure for "decoration products" CPT. Anyway there were some fixes to do, for instance, double slash in the uri. I fixed it with this helpful post:
- wordpress.stackexchange/questions/75157/how-to-fix-a-double-slash-in-custom-permalinks-with-hierarchical-taxonomys
I create all my code based on above two posts and put it in functions.php. You can see it in pastebin.
I thought, that everything works well until I’ve realized that there’re some problems with the manner that WordPress handle CPT top-categories and child-categories URIs. These are the problems:
PROBLEM 1:
This interior illumination's post:
Root_domain/productos-decoracion/iluminacion/iluminacion-interior/crea-ambientes-interior-acogedores
When I click on breadcrumb link “Iluminación interior” of this post, it must show “Iluminación interior” archive page, in the following uri:
Root_domain/productos-decoracion/iluminacion/iluminacion-interior
Instead of 404 Page not Found (Error 404: Página no encontrada). If I change manually browser's uri to:
Root_domain/productos-decoracion/iluminacion-interior
404 Page not Found error disappear and everything works well.
If I remove 'hierarchical'=>true from 'rewrite' in function my_taxonomies_product() (you can find it above pastebin function.php code) and I click on breadcrumb link “Iluminación interior”, it shows archive page like I want but in the wrong uri:
Root_domain/productos-decoracion/iluminacion-interior
"Interior illumination" (iluminación interior) is a subcategory of "Illumination" and the uri doesn’t show it, it should be: Root_domain/productos-decoracion/iluminacion/iluminacion-interior
This problems happens with all the other posts that have a top category and a subcategory.
PROBLEM 2:
The second problems comes when I click on breadcrumb link “Productos decoración” of many posts or categories pages, for instance here (Root_domain/productos-decoracion/iluminacion/iluminacion-interior/crea-ambientes-interior-acogedores
). Instead of bring to Root_domain/productos-decoracion (that’s what i want) it adds %field% to the end of the uri. %field% comes from functions.php code included above.
I've tried everything but with no success. I would really appreciate any help to fix this problems.

Reset to default 1After many headaches, I've spent days and hours finding a solution. I've find a solution for two problems commented above. I hope it helps to someone:
PROBLEM 1: I realized that when I changed Permalink to Plain (wordpress admin > settings > permalink > Plain) and when I click in Breadcrumb link "iluminacion interior" it works OK (no more 404 error page). I tried the same in others subcategory's archive page and It works OK also. But I want "pretty permarlinks" I don't want this kind of url: ../?producto=crea-ambientes-interior-acogedores, so I’ve rewritten "/%category%/%postname%.html" in permarlinks > Custom Structure.
So the problem was that servers doesn't understand "pretty permalinks: /%category%/%postname%.html", then servers returns 404 error in subcategory's archives page when WordPress request this kind of url: rootdomain.es/productos-decoracion/iluminacion/iluminacion-interior To solve the problem I've added $newRules in function mmp_rewrite_rules in function.php, so the servers can understand WordPress requests. This is the new function mmp_rewrite_rules http://pastebin/AMELcM6r I've done the same for the other CPT Proyectos.
PROBLEM 2:
This problem was easier to solve. I replace ‘has_archive’ => true, for ‘has_archive’ => ‘productos-decoracion’, in my_custom_post_product() function. ’productos-decoracion’ is the slug for the parent archive page. I do the same with proyectos CPT.
Now parent archive page url will be: …/productos-decoracion, no more .../productos-decoracion/%field%. Now we must create two file named: “archive-producto.php” and “archive-portfolio.php” (archive-CPT NAME.php) to show the content of parent archive pages. That’s all.
