 * Hi,
    I have created a CPT named AUTO with his taxonomy with hierarchy. I have
   some issue with the hierarchical permalink: it iterates the name of the parent
   cathegory every time. For example if an auto has this categorization, “km0 ->
   diesel -> new”, the permalink will be “auto/km0/diesel-km0-2/new-diesel-km0-2/
   name-auto
 * Do you have any suggestion?
    Thank you!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpermalink-issue-97%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Are you creating new taxonomy terms each time? or are you re-using existing ones
   in this case? The only way I can think of to have that incremental number get
   appended is if a new term each time, but the requested slug end up being the 
   same as an existing one.

 * Sorry, I don’t understand your question. I’m importing cars with wp-all-import
   and setting hierarchic taxonomy with the plugin. In the admin page of the single
   blog post in the taxonomy box I find:
    – km0 — audi — A3 sportback etron But 
   permalink results: auto/km0/audi-km0-2/a3-sportback-e-tron-audi-km0-2
 * How can I verify your question?
    Thank you!

 * What are you seeing when you visit the page that looks like this [https://cloudup.com/cQWC8UPjSro](https://cloudup.com/cQWC8UPjSro)
   for your taxonomy? Are there a bunch of repeated term names that match, but the
   slugs on the right hand side “slug”, “slug-1”, “slug-2” etc?
 * I’m curious if the import process isn’t checking for existing matching terms,
   and is importing as if a brand new term each time, but because of matching slugs,
   is having the “-#” suffix added.

 * You are right the Slug is the problem, the name is right but the slug has this
   repetition. So the problem is the import process?

 * If there’s settings to have it check for existing terms before creating a new
   one, that’d be the first place I start testing with to see if that resolves the
   issue. Ideally you’re wanting to re-use the existing terms first, and then create
   new ones if there’s not any in the first place.
