EasyBlog categories vs menu items

Hi,

Sorry, this is a difficult one to explain, but I'll try. We are using EasyBlog (with EasySocial).

In EB we have created several post categories and subcategories - see screen caputure. As you can see we have three "level 0" categories: "News", "Documents&Presentation" and "Pages". We unpublished the previous level 0 category "Articles" (because we didn't think we needed it).

In the frontend we have two EB menu items: "News" and "Documents". These two menu items render the posts from the respective categories "News" and "Documents & Presentations" - see screen capture. These two menu items have "Articles" as their parent menu item.

We start seeing some strange things happening with the URL's, which seems to suggest that somehow the categories and menu items are not in synch. For example:

1. Under "News" we have 5 subcategories. If you check the URL's you can see that these are consistent:
Community of Practice: https://www.myanmarwaterportal.com/articles/news/community-of-practice.html
General News: https://www.myanmarwaterportal.com/articles/categories/2-general-news.html

2. Under "Documents" we have a subcategory "Water Academy" and a sub-sub category "Thesis:
ttps://http://www.myanmarwaterportal.com/articles/documents/water-hub/dutch-water-sector.html
https://www.myanmarwaterportal.com/articles/categories/20-thesis.html

We also had individual articles that we categorised under "Documents" to get an URL that posted them in "News".

Now that we start publishing content with EasyBlog within the EasySocial pages (we bought the integration app), we want to make sure we are doing the right things in terms of categories and menu items structure.

Thanks for your advice!

best,
Gregor
