Hi Jeremy,

Yes, WordPress should do that. Also, make sure to have all of your categories ‘pre-determined’, so you don’t change them later; if you do change the category of the post later, make sure to 301 redirect the category slug using “Redirect Plugin” by John Godley of UrbanGiraffe.com. That way you won’t “break” anything/permalinks.

Also, if you didn’t not use the “Post Excerpt Editor” plugin for your category (which will show the post excerpt for each category page), you should only append one post to one category to avoid duplicate content.

Hope that help.

hello. newbie here. i frequently attach more than one category to my posts. would your permalink recommendations work for me? for example would “http://greenassembly.net/category/post-title” pick out the first category alphabetically or what i wonder? sorry if this is a stupid question but i’m frightened of experimenting in case i “break something” and can’t get back! you know what i mean.

One thing worth considering, before you decide to set this kind of permalink. Make sure you’ve fully aware of the effect. Because each of your post will have 2 address, like this

http://www.blogname.com/uncategorized/my-blog-is-cool

and

http://www.blogname.com/myblog/my-blog-is-cool

Both of the above addresses will redirect you to the same page. I hope it’s not detected as duplicate content by mr.G

Agreed!, i have been using this type of permalink for my blog and it works like a charm. The more keywords in our url the better.
