   On my site, I had posts tagged as 'photos' so I could link to /tag/photos and display all posts with photos. For SEO purposes, I now want the slug for that tag to be 'something-else' (not really that, but I want the site updater to be able to just type the word 'photos' and have it show up with the URL of /tag/something-else). This worked fine for the posts that existed with the tag photos.

   However, whenever a new post is created, and the tag 'photos' is added, it adds a duplicate 'photos' tag with the slug 'photos'. Obviously, this means all new posts tagged 'photos' won't show up under the URL /tag/something-else which isn't good.

   Does anyone know of a workaround? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

   This is a wordpress bug. It was recently discussed (and solved) on this page of the Wordpress bugtracker: http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6313

   On that page, you can find exact instructions on how to patch two files, wp-admin-includes-taxonomy.diff and wp-includes-taxonomy.diff.
