   I have the need to have duplicate post categories, but WP is no longer allowing that.

   I need to be able to set up a structure like the following:

   Chevrolet > Corvette > 2008
   Ford > Mustang > 2008

   When I try to add the second 2008 category, it's throwing an error.

   Are there any work arounds or plugins for this?

   Thanks!

   Also open to suggestions. I have a project I need to get rolling out and this is the core issue that's the hold up for me right now. If it were just a few, I'd figure out an alternative, but there's going to be a possible 75+ for the next sub category set.

   I appreciate any help very much!

   I had this problem too (still unsolved) when categorizing things by state. 2008 is not a very SEO-optimized category name, so what about using something like "2008 Corvettes" instead?

   Hi iridiax,

   The only problem with that is I'm going to be using WP as a simple store, and will be having a product or two starting out for each make/model & most of the recent years. Some performance parts may fit a 2004 Corvette, but not the 2005 since it's a different engine.

   The reason I'm breaking it down so much is because I've got a chain menu that requires them to choose a Make, then it populates the available Models, and once the model is chosen, the Years that are available will appear.

   I appreciate the reply though!!

   See: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/228718

   It's the category slugs that have to be different.
