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 
<a href="http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/" rel="nofollow ugc">‘Redirection’</a> 
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)
<h3>More info</h3>
To see the end result before you decide to install, please 
visit <a href="http://wordpress.skyphe.org" rel="nofollow ugc">wordpress.skyphe.org</a> 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 🙂
<h3>Plans for the next version?</h3>

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 🙂
