It seems to cut down on the potential that these forums have for being an absolute goldmine of WP related knowledge. * The hundreds/thousands of people who find the thread (which has been killed but still appears at the top of Google) will likely have a newer version too.

Cuts down on wasted time. * My point exactly. How much better would it be if you could post back telling people how you ended up doing it, then it would cut down on wasted time even more, as people would have direct access to the solution. * I guess it boils down to having too many threads to moderate? * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Why do posts get closed so often?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-do-posts-get-closed-so-often/) * Thread Starter [jsims281](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jsims281/) * (@jsims281) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-do-posts-get-closed-so-often/#post-2034711) * I appreciate all your points. * A lot of questions will still be relevant between versions of WordPress (I mean, it doesn’t get completely re-written on every release) and an answer of * > “This isn’t much of a problem any more in 3.x, now you just have to do this:” * is still helpful to the average user who finds the thread by typing a question into Google! 🙂 * I don’t see why you would deliberately stop people from answering old questions. I had guessed it was automated, I was just wondering if there was a real reason for the hard-line closure of threads other than the possibility that it could be regarding old versions. * A closed question with no answers is slightly worse than useless anyway, so I think it would be better if they did get deleted in that case? * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Why make a website so complicated?

If you are a professional blogger** you** should care what “[send trackback](http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=what+does+send+trackback+mean)” means, and you should be aware of basic SEO. * That aside, wordpress is a free system that you can use to create a website. You then put a theme on top of WordPress so that the site looks a certain way. * Many, many fantastic sites are based on WordPress. * It sounds like somebody has built you a lousy theme. This isn’t the fault of WordPress, I think you should take this up with the people that built your site for you. If you asked a garage to build you a customized Ford and when they were done, the customizations were horrible, then you wouldn’t blame Ford would you? * If the person who built the website has no idea what most of is for, then I’m afraid that person is either not a very good developer or he is just avoiding having to talk to you. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Why do posts get closed so often?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-do-posts-get-closed-so-often/) * Thread Starter [jsims281](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jsims281/) * (@jsims281) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-do-posts-get-closed-so-often/#post-2034490) * Yep, but it is still relevant. I have now found the answer somewhere else, and would post it on that thread (as it is ranking highly on Google if you type in the relevant question). * As it is, it is useless. I don’t see any benefit of locking down threads in this way… * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Duplicate Subcategory Slug problem](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-subcategory-slug-problem/) * [jsims281](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jsims281/) * (@jsims281) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-subcategory-slug-problem/#post-1598910) * I have the same problem: * You can’t even have “shoes/red” and “boots/red”. * One logical way to do it in my mind would be to create a unique slug of “shoes/ red” and “boots/red” (and forget about subcategories) but the / will get stripped out. * Does anyone know of a way of achieving this?
