    Hi,
    I’m providing city-based services. I have 2 cities city-1 and city-2 which I created as parent categories. I want to create a category called /birthday in both the cities, but wordpress doesn’t allow to create duplicate slugs even if the whole URL is unique.

    Desired URL:
    /city-1/birthday
    /city-2/birthday
    /city-1/birthday/decorations
    /city-2/birthday/decorations

    What wordpress is creating:
    /city-1/birthday and
    /city-2/birthday-2
    /city-1/birthday/decorations
    /city-2/birthday-2/decorations-2

    I need the solution to get the desired URL and if there is any way that I can do it through any of the woodmart themes. I have been trying myself for a solution from many days but couldn’t find. Please help me with the right solution. Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, WordPress doesn’t allow duplicate slugs for categories; this is part of WordPress’ default permalink structure.

    You need to find a third-party plugin to achieve more functionality that best suits you.

    Best Regards,
