Officially the only way is to reorganise your categories, the other solution is a paid extension that we use. It is at that point you need too decide on time vs cost, last time we mentioned it to fix the same problem the post was quoted as “Sorry, but this is not an answer”, shame the moderators do not take business needs in to account with a fundamental problem in the base platform but there you go.

For reference we have a plugin to S2Member that does this and limits view posts being able to reset daily, weekly, monthly automatically, similar to FT.com.

There is a plugin “Duplicate Post Paths” that does this baased on the parent categories.

Actually there a plugin “Duplicate Category Paths” which does this in 3.x for any taxonomy including categories, WooCommerce product categories, etc.
