<p>Remove Category URL strips the <code>/category/</code> base from your category URLs, turning something like <code>/category/my-category/</code> into simply <code>/my-category/</code>.</p>
<p>Just activate, and you’re done. No configuration needed.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Creates cleaner URLs like <code>mydomain.com/my-category/</code> and <code>mydomain.com/my-category/my-post/</code></li>
<li>Works out of the box with no settings to configure</li>
<li>Supports multiple sub-categories</li>
<li>Automatically 301 redirects old category URLs to the new structure (SEO-friendly)</li>
<li>Sitemaps are automatically updated with the new URLs after activation</li>
<li>Compatible with WordPress Multisite, WPML, and popular sitemap plugins</li>
</ul>
<h3>Why remove /category/ from URLs?</h3>
<p>The <code>/category/</code> base in WordPress URLs is there by default, but it doesn’t help your visitors or search engines understand your content any better. When you remove <code>/category/</code> from URLs, you get cleaner paths like <code>mydomain.com/news/</code> instead of <code>mydomain.com/category/news/</code>. They’re shorter, easier to remember and share, and more consistent with how your pages are already structured.</p>
<p>Shorter URLs also tend to look better in search results and make your site feel more polished overall. Removing the category base is a small change that makes your whole URL structure cleaner.</p>
