Hi
It’s me again.
Is there a good post on slug with few more examples so I don’t have to bother you any more?
What’s confusing is: if the category has to be unique, what’s the point of having a slug, which has to be unique too?

There is a difference between the NAME/TITLE of a category, and its URL – slug is the URL. You can have more than one category named Food but they can’t have the same URL (slug).

I don’t think I could have two categories both named Food with different slugs. Just tried, won’t let me. Or I didn’t understand your example?

In the Category, the slug usually supplied automatically as identical to the name of the category. When I later changed the name of the cat, the slug reminded unchanged, unless I change it. So slug = URL is kind of confusing too.

Thank you very much for your help.

Irene

Thanks ..
Could you post the code here and indicating where to insert?
Sorry I’m not good at penning a code or two .. must be the only Chinese who doesn’t know programming. I’m just so worried that one wrong word in the sidebar.php would ruin the whole site .. if not bring down the entire empire .. .. ??
Many many thanks.

How to use name slug and tag slug?

I read https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Manage_Categories_SubPanel#Edit_Category

______________________________________

Category Slug
The Category slug must be unique. The Category Slug is used in the URL. For example, setting a Category Name of “Recipes” and a Category Slug of “food” would show all “Recipes” posts with a URL like example.com/blog/food/.
_______________________________________

Not sure I understand the slug has to be ‘unique’ – as, for example:
Cat: Recipes, slug: food
Cat: Party, slug: food [can I used ‘food’ again here?]
Cat: BBQ, slug: food
The URL .. ireneeng.com/food/ will show all the posts with food slugs? or ireneeng.com/blog/food/ .. what this /blog/ in reference to here? As a relative unique word I use in few posts .. like ‘Nile’, or ‘have no clue’ ?? ??

OR .. IF the slug has to be unique .. like this following ??

Cat: Recipes, slug: food
Cat: Party, slug: food1
Cat: BBQ, slug: food2
??
Then how do I URL all the posts with the same slugs?

Many thanks, Irene

I’d like to group my categories according to country or region and appear that way in my blog .. but now they just shown in alphabetic order

Thanks Gloria, I downloaded from Adobe Flash Player Download Center. Tried within AOL and with IE, both didn’t work. Still getting that blank box.

When I compose my post in HTML tab, things are fine. But when I go back to HTML after I hit Visual tab, there are lots of <div>s and <span>s inserted uninvited, automatically. Even repeated delete won’t keep them coming back, away from my posts and pages. The problem is those <div>s cause problem on my site (I use “Paalam” a two-column Theme ): when there are too many of them, my two-col becomes 1-col, the narrower left side col would go to the bottom of the wider right side.

Thanks.
