GD categories and WP categories

Thanks for the explanation, Guust.

Is there an acceptable workaround that’s invisible to visitors and readers?

Got that.

My site will be 25-30% directory, with the bulk of the content being articles on posts and pages. Hence, I’ll be using WP categories more than GD categories so they have to integrate in an almost invisible way for readers. I don’t readers trying to figure out what the difference is between one category and another.

Using the current example, if I have a GD category “Bike” and I create a WP category “Bike,” the default duplicate WP category name will be “bike-1,” which isn’t very useful for readers. If I name it “Biking,” that might work or might be confusing.

Here’s a question: Can a GD category be a sub-category of a WP parent category?

If I switch it around and make the WP categories the parent categories, i.e. “Bike,” then maybe I can make the GD categories a sub-category, “Bike Guide.” That would be more clear for readers and a simple solution.

And, if I can’t make the GD category a sub-category of a WP category, it can still work as well and be clear to the readers.

I hope that makes more sense?

As always, thanks for your help.

Thanks, Guust.

Wishful thinking!

Much appreciated.
