the word categorie in my category slugs

Hey guys,

i have a problem. If I create categories and create a main menu, I get very weird slugs

so if I have category Cats and in the Category Cats is a category labeled small cats in the second level and i create a menu with it, I will get this url:
http://www.site.com/category/cats/small-cats/
In my permalinks options I set /%categorie%/%Postname%/
If there is an article in small cats named lilly and i open it, it is:
http://www.site.com/cats/small-cats/lilly

I have no Idea why i get the word (folder) category in front of my categories if I create and link them in the main Menu.

Does someone know a solution?
Thank you in advance

Hi

hmm thanks for your fast tip.

But I cant get a solution out of it 🙁

I found a solution 🙂

Having /category/ in the url of your blog url isn’t very handy for most people, especially those wanting to use WordPress as a non-blog style CMS. By default WordPress shows category archives like so:

http:/yourblog.com/category/quotes/

If you want to remove /category/ from the url, follow these two steps:

1. Go to Settings >> Permalinks and select Custom and enter: /%category%/%postname%/

2. Next set your Category Base to /.

Save it and you’ll see your URL changed to this format:

http:/yourblog.com/quotes/

Good tip. We actually leave the category out of the post path, but it can be useful. In our case, for one site we have the story id for providing a unique ID to each story.

/siteurl/storyID/posttitle/

yes i found that plugin too, but i prefer non plugins solutions 🙂 because of security issues and more server ressources, you know 🙂

Hi Mediarty,

I used your recommendation and it worked for main categories. The problem is that child categories doesn’t work and it shows me a 404 page.

Have your ever tried that?

Thanks!
