If you wanted to be able to finally remove the useless /category/ from your WordPress categories permalinks? If yes, read on and get ready to hack your .htaccess file!
WordPress category permalinks are displayed that way:
- http://www.domain.com/blog/category/wordpress
As you can see, the category in the url is pretty useless. Here’s how to remove it:
First backup your .htaccess file. Then, open it and append the following line:
RewriteRule ^category/(.+)$ http://www.domain.com/\ [R=301,L]
Once saved, your categories pages will be displayed like this:
- http://www.domain.com/blog/wordpress
