Permalinks
 
I have so far added 3 videos on the new site that I am working on. I have enable permalinks using this code /%category%/%postname%/

I would like to be able to move videos in and out of the featured category. The problem is let's say I have a video in a main category like comedy... and the permalink is something like... http://flicksbychicks.com/comedy/david- ... se-sitter/ Well when I add the video to the featured category the permalink automatically changes to http://flicksbychicks.com/featured/davi ... se-sitter/ and I can't edit the "featured" part back to "comedy."

The reason this is important is what if someone say stumbles, or diggs the video with the "comedy" permalink... and I decide down the road to add the video to the "featured" category... well the permalink changes and a 404 page not found error shows up where the original permalink was.

Is there anyway to change it so the featured category is not the default permalink when using multiple categories?

I hope I'm being clear.

Thanks!

I think I'm a little confused... I would imagine you could just leave it in both comedy and featured this way both permalinks would work...

nope... when you add the video to the "featured" category it changes the permalink and the comedy no longer works.

Oh wait... yes it does... But still I'm just wondering if it's possible to choose one permalink. This way if someone gets to it through comedy instead of featured they can see thing like that it's already been stumbled etc. This way the same video doesn't have the risk of being submitted multiple times to different SM networks but from the same site.

Does that make sense?

It does make sense, I think. But, as far as I know (I haven't gotten my feet wet with this theme yet) if you want it to appear under both comedy and featured, you will need to list it in both categories, generating two separate permalinks. I think this is the only way without getting knee-deep in coding.
