I’m creating a new site, which is a miscellany, and the idea is to divide the format into continents.
Which was perfect, until I discovered an issue with Asia.
No matter what I did, the URL slug would force itself to _asia
I couldn’t get the pure: categories/asia it would always correct to categories/_asia
Which, on balance of probabilities, means it’s a “reserved word,” within Wix’s own internal coding system, for (possibly) language-based or geo settings etc.
And it makes you wonder how much thought they put into this decision internally. Because surely they must have anticipated people would want to use the word Asia? After all, there was no problem with Africa or Europe etc.
Has anyone else encountered anything like this?
For me, one of the world’s biggest building platforms, this seems a pretty fundamental thing. I mean even if they’d used something like: asia_internal
It’s a minor thing, but in terms of having the “pure” URL slugs for each section seems like a fundamental thing to expect.
