<p>This plugin is exactly what you need if you like to include a list of posts (latest posts, most commented posts, future posts, …) in a page, post or widget very easy! This WordPress plugin provides placeholders for configurable dynamic lists of posts. The placeholders can be used in posts, pages or widgets, and will get replaced to the list of posts. Of course, it is also possible to use the lists directly in your template files. You can define the placeholders yourself and configure the list that should replace it.</p>
<p>You can define multiple placeholders like %MYPLACEHOLDER%.<br />
For each placeholder you can configure the list that replaces the placeholder if the page/widget/post gets viewed.<br />
You can decide to list posts of a specific category, author or tag. You can configure how to order them or what status the post has to have for example. Of course you can set the maximum number of posts to display.<br />
You can configure the html output for before and for after the list, customize the html string for each entry of the list, and set a string to display if there are no posts.<br />
In these strings you can use placeholders. For example: %count%, %numberposts%, %counter%, %postid%, %posttitle%, %posturl%, %author%, %date%, %time%, %modifieddate%, %modifiedtime%, … (case sensitive!)</p>

<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>
