Duplicate Category Slug Workaround Gone?

I might even be open to hacking the core if anyone has done this?

here’s how to do it in 2.8:

Actually there a plugin “Duplicate Category Paths” which does this in 3.x for any taxonomy including categories, WooCommerce product categories, etc.

ah yes there is @serpyre… and I see you wrote it haha. good marketing.

I’ve found a workaround, and $20 is a bit pricy, but I’ll keep an eye on it. if it gets good reviews, I’ll take the plunge. thank you.

We did not develop it, we are just users and resellers of it.

Why are you using 3.4.1?
