   Hello,
   Can I have following category structure in WP 2.5?
   National
   News
   Crime

   International
   News
   Views

   Ideally I would like to keep slugs for News under National and International same but I can live with different slugs.

   Currently I have News as a sub category under National category. When I try to create News sub category under International category, I get a validation error.

   Thanks in advance.

   I've tried to do this as well - with no luck.

   This was possible in previous versions of WP and is keeping me from upgrading.

   Well, I imagine it's because SQL doesn't allow two keys with the same name. In previous versions it may have handled categories in a different way.

   Hopefully they'll update it so that it's only two children with the same parent that can't have the same key, rather than any two categories overall.

   Also, I've tested and it doesn't matter if the slugs are different. It uses the title itself.

   But this is really a panic man... I hope they will correct this in the next version!!
