Allow Numeric Stubs

Good to hear!

Although one precaution: if you have a ton of Pages with the same stub, it’ll increase the number of queries on those Pages by a bit as I guess it’s trying to figure out which Page was requested. They’re easy queries though, so it shouldn’t have too much of an impact.

Just one question about the stub problem that causes multiple DB queries: When does that occur?

It’s a separate issue entirely: http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7443

Here’s an example:

mysite.com/parent/alpha/mypage/
mysite.com/parent/beta/mypage/
mysite.com/parent/gamma/mypage/

When you visit any of those URLs, there is a good chance excess queries can occur. This is because WordPress is poorly tries to figure out which “mypage” you wanted (as there’s actually 3 Pages with the stub of “mypage”).

I have many, many Pages with the same single number stub but that have different parents. That was my issue.

This plugin alone should not cause any additional queries.

Thanks for the reply. Just curious, did you try Ryan’s diff that he added to that ticket?

No, not yet although if I’m reading it correctly, all it does is allow the cache to help. If the Page hasn’t already been queried for and is known about, then I think it’ll still query.

I’ll test to see for sure later and if that’s the case, try and write my own patch as the code seems simple enough.
