Primary category selector does not show hierarchical structure #10898
Comments
When building this, this was actually something that was considered. But when (in your example) So if indented child-taxonomies is something we want in the primary term picker, a decision needs to be made on how to handle this situation. |
Then the order is the confusion part of it. |
Please inform the customer of conversation # 499894 when this conversation has been closed. |
If we can simply display the parent category name before the selected category in the selections, I think it would help clarify both situations eg.
This is a big usability problem for me since I have no idea which should be marked as primary category if more than one uses the same child name. |
@xyfi the above comment sounds like something that would not be very hard to implement - do you share that assumption? |
What happens when the child and grandchild categories are the same but have different top level parents? Example If we included the parent, both would show Child > Grandchild. If we include the full path, it will likely overflow the box thus wrapping to multiple lines. And it can get kinda messy if there are levels within levels. Even two long category names could get messy. Instead, would it be possible to output the full path above/below the box after selecting the primary category when the primary category is not a top-level category? That could handle any length names and levels within levels without making the selection box messy. Note: From an SEO perspective, is it a good idea to have two categories with the same name? Would they compete for ranking against each other like mentioned here in the 'Duplicate tags and categories' section? |
Especially when there is a long(er) list of categories, finding the right one to make primary can be a
bit difficult if they are not displayed in the same order as above.
Edit a category and select "Parent".
Edit a (custom) post type item and see the following layout mismatch.
This only applies to hierarchical terms (e.g. not to tags)
