    hi,
    im in word press 2.6.3
    for example my category slug is cat1 and this is my url:
    www. site-name. com/[/url]cat1/post.htm
    now i want to rename the category slug cat1 to cat2
    so my post url change to:
    www. site-name. com/cat2/post.htm

    the problem is here:
    now this 2 url are available and shows 1 thing:
    www. site-name. com/cat1/post.htm
    www. site-name. com/cat2/post.htm

    how can i solve it?
    this url shouldn`t active after changing the category slug:
    www. site-name. com/cat1/post.htm
    :eek: :confused:

    It may be in the cache and clear out later on.

    Clear your cache and cookies and try it again. It may be solved. If not, you may have to do a redirect from one to the other. It might help to post the URLs and see if we are getting the same thing.

    please check it with your wordpress.
    its simple.
    creat a post in cat1.
    after publishing the post,
    change the category slug.
    test it plz.
