    Hi,
    I have set permalinks as follows
    /%category%/%postname%/

    Now my problem is , I have say 3 categories

    1.) Technology (This was created first)
    2.) Software (This was created second)
    3.) Mobiles (This was created third)

    Problem : When I create a post by clicking "Add New" post, I have to select category, So I check the option from above available 3 categories, say I select Mobiles , I want in permalink to be as
    www.sitename.com/mobiles/blogpost1

    But my problem is I want to have this post to be seen in multiple categories, So after publishing I select other categories (software, technology) alongwith mobile , as soon as i press update the permalink becomes :
    www.sitename.com/technology/blogpost1

    So My problem when I select all the 3 categories then permalink take the category which was first created, is there any solution to this , I want to select all categories and in the above example, I want permalink to pick mobiles category even though it was created last , so please advice and suggest

    Thanks and Regards,
    Merlin

    As far as I know, you can't without a major hack. You would have to manually change the permalink.

    You have to do this changing some values in the .htaccess file. Otherwise you can't.
