<p>The Top Level Categories plugin allows you to remove the prefix before the URL to your category page. For example, instead of http://fortes.com/category/work, I use http://fortes.com/work for the address my “work” category. WordPress doesn’t allow you to have a blank prefix for categories (they insert <code>category/</code> before the name), this plugin works around that restriction.</p>

<p>In WordPress, a page’s parent or the categories of a post typically influence the final permalink/slug URI.</p>
<p>When editing a post or page in the WordPress admin backend and changing any of these, the preceeding URI parts before the slug below the title input don’t get automatically updated though – pretty confusing.</p>
<p>This simple extension automatically reloads/refreshes the permalink preview URIs when having selected different page parents or post categories.</p>
