 * Check your wordpress permalink settings under
    Settings → Permalinks
 * It should be set to custom if you only want posts to have one url. Here is more
   about Permalink settings for you to look at: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/settings-permalinks-screen/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/settings-permalinks-screen/)

 * Right, so the url you have set will set a url for each category your post is 
   in….
    try setting it to example.com/%postname%/ that will use the same url for
   all categories.
 * The only other option that I am aware of would be to write a 301 redirect for
   each individual post which can get very tedious and become impossible to maintain
   depending how many categories you have posts in that also get posted under the“
   latest” category.
 * Hope this helps.
