This is the link to my website https://www.netsportworld.com
On the homepage, when I click the categories in the header menu such as football, the url that comes is
https://www.netsportworld.com/category/football/ and similarly live score url is https://www.netsportworld.com/category/livescores/
There is the word ‘category’ showing up in these urls. How do I edit this out.
I tried using https://i.imgur.com/6wv81YL.png, but that only works for the posts

Hi,

Our theme do not has an option for this, sorry!
The category base can be changed or removed if needed, the most popular method as far as I know is with the Yoast SEO plugin

https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-change-the-category-base-prefix-in-wordpress/
You could try these if you want to change/remove the category base from the URL. Note that if you remove the /category/ from the URL, you will probably have to create redirects from the old URLs to the new ones – https://www.blogstand.com/change-category-base-prefix-wordpress/ -> https://jonnyjordan.com/blog/how-to-remove-category-from-your-urls-in-wordpress/

Thank you!
