I am trying to set my permanent links for category pages without “/category/” in URL, but the links don’t work. When I set “.” as a perm link for categories in admin the links doesn’t work. I get 404 error.

You can check links in menu at http://notranjskoprimorske.si

Any idea?

Hi,

I’m not sure how wordpress handles permalinks code and unfortunately I did not find an accurate solution to remove category – http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Permalink_Types You can also try to find an online solution or find and try a plugin for this like(I did not tested but you can try it) – https://wordpress.org/plugins/fv-top-level-cats/

Thanks!

I did manage to remove category from permalink, but I am not sure why I get 404 error with it? Maybe something with the theme? .htaccess? Not sure. I thought it was a known bug.

Hi,

Using a dot to remove the category base from your permalinks structure is not a well tested and an clean way to do this and from my research I’m not sure why the category base is removed when using a dot there or how this is working therefore is unstable and not reliable. Based on this article the post permalink structure needs to be set to /%category%/%postname%/ for this to work: http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/removing-category-base-urls-wordpress/?utm_expid=3606929-32.jVSGECWYSiWZJXI3ODEEGA.0&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.ro%2F

My advice is to use the plugin also mentioned there as just keeping it active will remove the category base: https://wordpress.org/plugins/fv-top-level-cats/

Thanks
