The only problem is if you name the same name title of a category and a page. Wordpress will go nuts which one will be displayed.

iDope, thank you!

This plugin is amazing, and adds something to wordpress that I have been wanting for many years now.

I remember searching long and hard about 2 years ago for something like this.

Just activate, and it works flawlessly, you have thought of everything!

Many thanks for the great plugin! Keep up the great work.

This is truly a great plugin. I was trying to remove the category base from code but that we very frustrating. Thanks for this time saving plugin. I really like your captcha too.

Hi,

should this work also for tag base? It seems that it does not.

Hi iDope, great plug-in.

But i ran into a problem with WPML as Tommasi above, but for me it works for he posts and pages but with Categories and Archive lists i get 404.

Any ideas?

Installed easily and worked perfectly on version 2.8.5. It completely solved my problem. Thank you very much!

This plugin really owns. It should be a default option in Wordpress to have it this way.. but… well… :f

Simple and working – thanks.

Hey iDope,
Great work, congratulations. Just one request tough:
Your plugin removes more than the category-base, which makes it incompatible with multilanguage plguins that ad a locale indication to the URL (e.g. /pt/ for portuguese etc). I use WPML, and i have tested locally to come to this conclusion.

Any chance you would take a look at the issue soon? Your plugin is a blessing multi-lingual sites can’t have!

Thanks, Eduardo

Main page pagination works fine, but category pagination cracks and gives a 404 error. my categories are written in Arabic (UTF8). any ideas? Thanks

Thanks man, you solved all the problems I had with Top level category

By: lydia

in reading through the docs + comment threads, i see that this plugin is supposed to handle subcategories, creating a URL with /category/subcategory/postname/ . (though i also see some people want that and have trouble making it work.) what i’m looking for is the opposite: i want to include _only_ the top-level category in the permalink, regardless of whether the particular post has subcategories. can this plugin do it?
thanks.

OK thx, but the problem is interaction with WPML. I use a different URL for each language, when I add your plugin all URLs go back to the english language one.

@Mike Tommasi: This plugin *only* changes category permalinks (and by extension, category feed permalinks) as I have mentioned several times. Archive and single post links should remain the same as before.

With WPML multilingual plugin this plugin works on archives but not on single post pages.

Putting \. in the Category base without any plugin seems to work, but the URL in source actually has a /./ instead of /category/ – but the links actually work. Not sure if this dot thing is a problem – will this come back to bite me?
