Duplicate Slugs for Categories
-
Hello,
I am trying to setup a mobile store with woocommerce and I have some problems when I am creating categories.
For an example;
Category 1 :
Product Apple
Category 2 :
Product appleand I want to display the URL like below
https://www.site.com/category-1/product-apple
https://www.site.com/category-2/product-apple
https://www.site.com/category-3/product-appleBut now when I am creating the second category called “product-apple” it says slug already exist.
How can I solve this problem ?

WHAAAAAAAAA!??? No duplicate slugs? Truly, I couldn’t believe this, I searched and searched and discover, indeed such a simple, normal, ordinary url structure is banned in WordPress/Woocommerce. Bug? More like deeply flawed.
I’ve tried every plugin I thought could fix it. The mysterious “Duplicate category paths” plugin doesn’t exist. Nothing works.
I’ve had to work around by using file names to indicate path structures.
Instead of:- mysite.com/mens/trousers – a normal cateogory
- mysite.com/mens/trousers/denim – a nested product page
- mysite.com/womens/trousers-1/denim-1 – a nested product page with allowed slugs
I’m going for:
- mysite.com/mens-trousers – a page, made to look like a cateogory
- mysite.com/mens-trousers-denim – a product page
- mysite.com/womens-trousers-denim – a product page
Categories seem useless. I’ll use tags and use this
[woo_products_by_tags tags=”denim”].
Probably, all of my products will thus be at one level. But at least my urls will be friendly.
Madness.
Be happy for ever,
Steve
