    Hi there,

    I have just downloaded WordPress and I am looking to use it alongside a directory database.

    I have a directory that has thousands of listings in and I would like WordPress to handle these listings by formatting them into urls such as:

    example.com/main-category/sub-category/listing/

    Does anyone know how I could accomplish this?

    Many thanks,
    Mike

    This is not something you can expect out of the box.
    You can use custom post types and custom taxonomies for something like this. Read up on CPTs – http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Post_Types and CTs – http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Taxonomies
    There are plugins which will let you register CPTs and CTs from the WP admin. Then you would need a theme to support a directory looking website. I’m not sure if there are plugins available for this but you can try to look for yourself in the plugin repo – http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/. It looks very similar to what you are trying to achieve if you look at the functionalities actually.
