 * 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.wordpress.org/Post_Types](http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types)
   and CTs – [http://codex.wordpress.org/Taxonomies](http://codex.wordpress.org/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://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/).
   It looks very similar to what you are trying to achieve if you look at the functionalities
   actually.
