   Hi all,

   I have a problem with adding new categories in WP 2.5.1.

   Up to now I defined a Category-Structure with categories and sub-categories.

   My problem is that WP doesn't allow me to add a category name which I already used, but within a different main-category.

   For example:

   Category_1
   • Sub-Category_A
   • Sub-Category_B

   Category_2

   • Sub-Category_A
   <--- Not allowed

   What can I do to have the same sub-category name within different main-categories??

   I don't think that there is a way around this, without modifying some core WP code. You see, a category can be identified by its name. So if you have duplicate names, WP wouldn't know what to do in certain scenarios.

   If you do find an easy workaround, please post your solution.
