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
