Steps on including ‘article category’ in your URL structure in WordPress:
- From your WordPress Dashboard, look for the link titled OHT Settings
2. Find the checkbox that reads: “Articles’ category in permalink”
3. Check the box and save your settings to update the URL structure
Your new URL structure will be: website.com/articles/category-name/article-title/
