Hi again
No the issue is not resolved.
The nested category structure should be: *******.com/parent category/sub-category/k2 item title
The current url: ****.com/parent category/menu item title/id_sub-category/k2 item title (the menu item title is NOT wanted here)
Best regards
En Jie

As mentioned in my earlier posts,
You need to either map all categories into menu items OR use K2's advanced SEF.
Using both can result to not-so nice URLs.
Furthermore sh404sef's cache seems to have issues when it comes to purging.
Finally when using Advanced SEF if you select "Use the item's category" in the Prefix for item URLs setting then you will get an extra prefix,
so the ;TLDR version is, when you follow the instructions on this post -> www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/46071-joomla-3-5-and-k2-urls?limitstart=0#155738 you will get nice URLs.

This does not fix github.com/getk2/k2/issues/328 it will just confuse end users who will then pick another system that supports nested SEF.
Why close the issue after saying consult this thread. You should of said, "Not Adding This Feature" least then people would know, rather than giving them false hope or some really long winded non-dynamic solution.
I appreciate things take time to code and can't always be done.
Thanks as always for your time.

Please bear with me.
Mapping categories into menu items WILL give you nested categories.
Please read my last post. This is an either/ or situation.
You have 3 choices regarding your URLs, 2 will give you the utmost control over them, in the other one (Advanced SEF), you might need to map the root category into a menu item.
As with the vast majority of posts regarding URLs En Jie's issue was a misconfiguration on the menu item (empty category selection) AND the use of an extra prefix.

conclusion
I think I have listed the 3 options. My opinion would be that i dont want to purchase 3rd party software or spend a load of time setting up complex menus and that leaves K2's Advanced SEF settings which do not give nested categories unless I am doing something wrong.
These are my advanced SEF settings from k2 v2.6.9 , could get v2.7.0 to do it either.

This is a bad solution. If I wanted a manual website I would choose HTML.You need to either map all categories into menu items
There are no settings that give nested categories in K2's advanced SEF. If there is, I cannot find them or work out what to do. Can you do a screenshot of settings perhaps with a menu config setting example so i can get this working.OR use K2's advanced SEF
I have to purchase a 3rd party software to get a basic feature present in most Joomla componentsusing Advanced SEF

Joomla!'s core functionality (modules, templates, etc) work with menu items.
If you choose not to use them, then you won't get the URL structure you want. You can only map the root category and use Advanced SEF but it will not give you control over the modules, allow you to have multiple categories in a view, use another template, and may other.
You can ask the full category path to be included as an on option in Advanced SEF, but to say that K2 does not support nested URLs is wrong.q

I will be honest I don't think anyone know hows to get nested categories. Your answers are cryptic and do not make sense.
This is how you do it in mosets tree.
1) create a single menu item and point it to the directory you want
2) save the menu item
3) done
All the content (items and categories) under that menu item now have full nested category URLS as you would expect.
You cannot do this in K2, I have tried, so if there are some settings i have missed please let me know.
Not everyone uses K2 to replace the Joomla articles, I have used K2 for a Knowledge Base and this is why for me, proper URLs are a must.
My knowledge Base: quantumwarp.com/kb/articles
