I’ve noticed WordPress renames the slug of identical tags used across multiple taxonomies, is there an easy way to change this behavior?
Let’s say I create a tag called Nintendo under the publisher taxonomy, then also create a Nintendo tag under the developer taxonomy. WordPress will prefix the slug of the second tag with a 2.
This basically makes the taxonomy/tag system unusable for my application. I want the slugs to stay the same across multiple taxonomies.
Found out why, slug column has a UNIQUE index. Looks like I’m just going to have to code my own script to handle the publisher/developer relations if I want a consistent URL structure. Thought WP was more flexible than this, oh well :/
