THIS PLUGIN IS NOW OBSOLETE,PLEASE SWITCH TO
‘WP NO CATEGORY BASE’
PLUGIN
Go to http://skyphe.org/code/wordpress/decategorizer/ for the
explanation, thanks!
“Decategorizer” will remove the category base from your category
links, and turn your category URLs from something like
“http://yourdomain/category/news/” to “http://yourdomain/news/”.
Features:
301 redirection for old category links added automatically;
works with most permalink structures (please e-mail me or leave
a comment on plugin’s site if it doesn’t work for you);
you can safely use variables in your category URLs
(http://yourdomain/news/?var=val);
sitemap plugins compatible;
it works with multiple subcategory links
(http://yourdomain/categoryname/subcategoryname/subsubcategoryname/)
“Decategorizer” needs John Godley’s
‘Redirection’
plugin to work and it will disable itself if Redirection is
not installed.
Redirection version 2.x. is recommended (Last tested with v2.1.9)
More info
To see the end result before you decide to install, please
visit wordpress.skyphe.org and
browse around. You’ll notice that no url contains “category” and still
everything works just fine.
I don’t think I’ve ever written a readme before. Is it full of
spelling and grammar errors? Too long? I suck at explaining how things
work? Drop me an e-mail if something’s bugging you about this text 🙂
Plans for the next version?

Make it a “Redirection” extending class – does that make any sense?
Probably.
Or maybe move from “Redirection” completely and just write the values
to the .htaccess file?
Leave a comment here (WordPress forums) or on my site, or send me an
e-mail if you would like to see something added to the plugin.
Thanks for reading this 🙂
