    Slugs don't work when using 'Direct Category Links'

    I noticed this when trying to fix an #anchor link problem.

    I have 2 categories, 'Pregnancy' & 'Post Pregnancy', but I have the word 'Post' in the word filter so both anchor links go to #pregnancy

    I tried changing this manually via $vbseo_forum_slugs but it doesn't work when 'Direct Category Links' is turned on :(

    Hello Stewart ,

    Slugs are only designed to work when it is used as an actual url. It will not work for Direct Category Links

    That's ashame. Now Google links direct to anchor links within serps it would be handy to have control over that.
