If you're determined to find a way to create /shop/category/item type URLs, it will cost you a fair bit in money, time, and hair, but realistically there are 3 options;
- Host your entire site elsewhere, built on a different CMS. Arrange your pages and URLs however you like but you have to program everything.
- Use a reverse proxy setup, so you can manage your own URLs, hostnames, and redirection. Very technical, and if you stuff it up, there will be significant problems for users and search engine robots.
- Use a dodgy combo of redirects and scripts, which handle your different URL configuration, and make it "look like" you requested, and landed on a specially pathed page like /shop/category/item.
In this course, the first two are the "right way" to solve this problem, but they are far too technical and complex to cover in this course.
Someday maybe.
