Thanks Dgold,
You say ” and only having to upgrade 1 WP to update all 3.” What do you mean by that?
One of the main reasons I’m shying away from using parent categories is that the permalink structure will put the category with the lowest id number in the link. Which means that if i wanted to add new categories in the future, i’d either have to 1) fiddle manually with the id numbers of 2) create a bunch of “placeholder” blank categories and then rename them as i need them.
