Hi, guys!
I’ve try to get woraround for a trouble with Custom Taxonomy, and make it with Categories and Tags only.
I make a Main Category “Brand” and some sub-cat’s “Cambridge Audio”, “ELAC”, “Monitor Audio” and so on.
I make the “Brand” Category hidden on site frontend. Newspaper support this feature, great!
I remove /category/ slug with “No Category Base” plugin.
But the slug /brand/ still present in URL

How can i remove it?
Is this safe for site consistance?
Hi,
You could try a custom permalink plugin, that may have the option to modify the URL. That would probably be the easiest way to achieve this. I could not say if this will work, or if there are any implications for modifying the permalinks.
Thanks
Hi, Simon.
Thank you for advice. It works, but… partially. 🙂
Hidden category slugs are still present in URL of:
- Mega-menu items
- YOAST SEO Sitemap.xml
- Maybe somewhere esle…
We can fix the sitemap.xml issue with Google Sitemap by BestWebSoft plugin, but how to win Mega-Menu – we can’t figure.
We deside to return the YOAST SEO Sitemap.xml and leave “need-to-be-hidden” slugs in URL, although I fear that this may lead to undesirable consequences (for SEO and navigation/usability).
I think it’s a good idea to give the opportunity to completely hide the selected categories and slugs from site (front and URL).
This will give more flexibility in creating site structure – without creating the custom taxonomies (that does not negate my wish of full CT&CPT support :-))
Hi,
The option from the theme panel simply removes the category tag from category pages and post pages. This settings does not affect the permalink structure or anything else, and there is no other option to do so.
That can only be done by using WordPress options, a plugin or maybe combination of plugins.
Thanks
Yes, Smon, i understand it.
I just give an idea for future implementation.
