Thank you for the example. At least it got me on the right track and I didn't miss anything.
All to fix one link... Doh!

Hi.

If I want to add a non-hierarchical taxonomy like WordPress tags to your code.
For example:

register_taxonomy ( 'taggs', array ('recipes'), array (
        'hierarchical' => false,
        'label' => 'Taggs'
    )
);

As a result, the link structure will be as follows:

http://example.com/taggs/tag-1,tag-2,tag-3

How else to add “recipes” to this taxonomy so that:

http://example.com/recipes/taggs/tag-1,tag-2,tag-3

Tried like this:

function add_clinic_permastructure () {
    global $ wp_rewrite;
    add_permastruct ('occasion', 'recipes/%occasion%', false);
    add_permastruct ('recipes', 'recipes/%occasion%/%recipes%', false);

    add_permastruct ('taggs', 'recipes/%taggs%', false);
    add_permastruct ('recipes', 'recipes/%taggs%/%recipes%', false);
}

In this case, the structure http://example.com/recipes/dinner,breakfast,brunch does not work (error 404).

How to tie these 2 taxonomies together?

Thank.

Looks like there is a typo in the code... Just change the implode( ',', $post_terms ) with implode( '/', $post_terms ). It'll replace the , with /.

Please let me know your results

amazing, thanks man!

Is there a simple way to use / instead of the , for mulitple categories?
It would be nice to have the hierarchical structure in the url.

The biggest problem with hierachical that I see is the add_permastruct function.
Therefore I have to register it like:

add_permastruct( 'recipes', 'recipes/%occasion%/%recipes%', false );
add_permastruct( 'recipes', 'recipes/%occasion%/%occasion%/%recipes%', false );
add_permastruct( 'recipes', 'recipes/%occasion%/%occasion%/%occasion%/%recipes%', false );

But if I do that, only the last one is active.

Any ideas? Thanks
