Hey,
I don’t want to link to the category page, because i built up an extra page with Visual Composer.
Is it possible to remove the “/categoy/ part in the URL of the category tag?

Regards,
Reinhard

That is managed by WordPress, not the theme.
You cannot easily do it, and it may break things.

You can try the “.” trick, by potting a single period in the box in WP admin for category name.

You can also try the option in the Yoast plugin.

Or some plugins like this one might work:

Hope that’s a starting point, unless I misunderstood 🙂

Thanks Chris S,

the trick with the “.” helped me to solve the problem 🙂

Thanks a lot again.

I’m playing with this on another site project where the WP install is inside a sub-folder and that extra /category/ thing was even more annoying ! 🙂
