multiple categories with the same name and permlinks

  • Hi

    I am trying to migrate static site to WP as CMS

    I am trying to understand how WP works

    my problem,

    we would like to have a site with links like that:

    /aat/f1/postname – equivalent of index.php with all links in F1 section like lectures/notes
    /aat/f1/lectures/postname
    /aat/f1/notes/postname
    /aat/f1/tests/postname
    /aat/f2/postname – – equivalent of index.php with all links in F2 section like lectures/notes
    /aat/f2/lectures/postname
    /aat/f2/notes/postname
    /aat/f2/tests/postname
    …

    However, we discovered, sub categories names cannot be the repeated..

    Is there any way around it??

    How do you guys organise the structure /folders on your site in WP?

    would this work?
    /aat/f1/postname equivalent of index.php with all links in F1 section like F1 lectures/notes
    /aat/f2/postname – equivalent of index.php
    /aat/lectures/f1_postname
    /aat/lectures/f2_postname
    /aat/notes/f1_postname
    /aat/notes/f2_postname

    Any better suggestions please?

    However, next problem.. what is the way around this:

    “Starting Permalinks with %category% is strongly not recommended for performance reasons.”

    in our site ‘aat’ and few others are categories
    and ‘f1’ ‘f2’ and many others would be sub categories…

    We dont want to put date in front etc..

    can anyone share their tips please?
