Wordpress Themes & Layouts

WP No Category Base

Description:

As the name suggests this plugin will completely remove the mandatory ‘Category Base’ from your category permalinks ( e.g. `myblog.com/category/my-category/` to `myblog.com/my-category/`.

The plugin requires no setup or modifying core wordpress files and will not break any links.

Features

Better and logical permalinks like myblog.com/my-category/ and myblog.com/my-category/my-post/.
Simple plugin barely adds any overhead.
Works out of the box – no setup needed.
No need to modify wordpress files.
Doesn’t require other plugins to work.
Compatible with sitemap plugins.
Works with multiple sub-categories.

@David: Try this plugin, it doesn’t have the “Known Issues / Bugs” of the Top Level Cats plugin.

Does this also work for multiple-level-deep nested categories?

thanks a lot, finally this annoyance is gone as well. and so simple.

any cache should be rebuilt after activating the plugin.

Hi,

Thank you so much, I was one of the “unfortunate” ones that was using the other “top level” plugin mentioned above and then when 2.7 came out I got screw cause it was all buddy (hence if you didnt have .html) at the end it wouldn’t work,

I just installed YOURS and it works like a dream!

Thank you so much, If it wasn’t for the developers like you that provided all this cool stuff, well then it would just suck, but in fact people like you make it GREAT to be a blogger !

Thank you, you just made my day with this,

BTW: I found you on weblogs blog

Ideas?

April 1st, 2009 at 8:28 am

First thank you for making this problem it works fine…
Although I have one problem, when I am showing cats with their category rss feed, I am getting page not found in the rss… eg
domain.com/top-levelcat/feed/ error
domain.com/top-levelcat/secondlevelcat/feed/ error

my permalink structure is
/%postname%/
I have also tried
/%category%/%postname%/

Have tried adding category to the url the address bar but still no joy, anybody else suffering this problem
18
George Snyder Says:
April 1st, 2009 at 8:34 am

Update if I use
/%category%/%postname%.html/
as a permalink it works, but really do not want todo this. would really just like to have
/%postname%/

Thanks
19
iDope Says:
April 1st, 2009 at 12:35 pm

@George Snyder: I have added proper support for category feed permalinks, please update to the latest version. BTW, this plugin does not affect your post permalink structure so you can have ‘/%postname%/’ or ‘/%category%/%postname%/’ or anything.
20
Shannon Says:
April 1st, 2009 at 5:43 pm

Version 0.1 didn’t work with my %postname% permalink structure, but 0.3 seems to be working fine. Thanks so much for this plugin, it’s exactly what I was looking for!
21
Shannon Says:
April 1st, 2009 at 7:09 pm

Problem with tags.

I have categories and tags with the same name but different content. With No Category Base active, the tag archive outputs the content of the category with the same name (although still displayed as /tag/tag-name/). Can this be fixed?
22
iDope Says:
April 2nd, 2009 at 12:48 am

Fixed! Now it will not override tags with the same name. Please update to the latest version.

George Snyder Says:
April 2nd, 2009 at 10:10 am

Ok, you have been busy, thank you for the quick fix and reply. Just have a new problem now that didn’t happen before the update, I am using the language plug qtranslate that ads the lang locale in the address field, so as in
domain.com/nameofcat default lang
domain.com/fr/nameofcat postorcat in French
domain.com/de/nameofcat postorcat in German

So it now removes the /fr/ or /de/ from the url, not good, I understand if this is out of the scope of the plugin, but it would be really nice to have this back, as it was if you see what I mean…

@George: Since both plugins modify the category permalink I think it might be difficult to make them coexist. But I will look at it when time permits.

Derek Perkins Says:
April 5th, 2009 at 9:05 am

In the FAQ for the plugin, it says that the category will have priority over the page, whereas on this page it says that the page has priority over the category. I want the category to have priority for the exact reason mentioned in the FAQ, so that I can have them appear in my navigation. Is there a way to set the category to take precedence?
26
iDope Says:
April 5th, 2009 at 11:01 am

@Derek: The category will have priority. If it says otherwise somewhere its a mistake, let me know where and I’ll fix it.
27
Derek Perkins Says:
April 5th, 2009 at 2:42 pm

The category isn’t taking priority on my installation. It is pulling up the blank page instead of the categories, though the categories pull up fine if I change the page slug.

Two categories with matching page slugs
- http://derekperkins.com/seatability1/news/
- http://derekperkins.com/seatability1/news/press-releases/

Two categories without matching page slugs
- http://derekperkins.com/seatability1/news/distributor-updates/online/
- http://derekperkins.com/seatability1/news/press-releases/

I do have the Redirection plugin installed, but I have checked multiple times and I have removed all references to my category / page slugs to remove any interference. I also tried deactivating it and I still encountered the exact same problems. Is there something else I should check?

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I actually took my website live with those problems still active, so replace the links above with derekperkins.com/seatability1 with seatability.com.
30
Shannon Says:
April 6th, 2009 at 9:44 pm

I’m having the same issue as Derek. If I have a page and a category both called News, with WP No Category Base active, the page currently takes priority. I would prefer the category to take priority.

My workaround is to alter the page slug and set a redirect (Page Links To plugin) to the category name. However this creates unsatisfactory permalinks for subpages.

WP 2.7.1, latest No Category Base, latest Atahualpa theme.
31
Derek Perkins Says:
April 6th, 2009 at 9:48 pm

@Shannon: I definitely agree with the ‘unsatisfactory permalinks for subpages’ comment. I can work around it for sure, but if the category can override the page slug as it is supposed to, that works perfectly.
32
mongobread Says:
April 7th, 2009 at 9:23 am

The plugin works great however it does not redirect previous permalink w/ category base to the no-category base permalink .

This will hurt PR.

example;
I want to automatically redirect…

http://sitename.com/category/cat-name/postname

…to…

http://sitename.com/cat-name/postname

I didnt try it but according to the code categories should have had priority. I’ll look into it.

April 8th, 2009 at 4:25 pm

Hey,

Great plugin works well apart from if you have a category that currently has no posts in it, it just shows a 404 error, whereas when its not installed wordpress will just say no posts in this category.
35

April 25th, 2009 at 11:56 am

Hi, I have installed this plugin on a website I am designing and have run into a small issue regarding category feeds.

It seems to be working fine on all pages but when I set up a feed eg http://www.mysite.com/beta/category/category-name/feed/ it gets re-directed to just
http://www.mysite.com/beta/category-name/

Now could this be because of the fact the site is under a beta filename?

If not is there any fix for this? I have read comment above stating there were problems with category feeds but you said the latest version there is a fix for category feeds.

Any help you can give would be much appreciated. And great plugin!
Thanks.

Mikey Says:
April 30th, 2009 at 9:53 am

So does it or does it not work when showing subcategories?

The problem is that it works perfectly if you show a link with a category. It does not work if you show links with subcategories. I have my permalink set as /%postname%/ and wondered if it has to be: /%categories%/%postname%/ but that didn’t work either.

Problem is that only one or the other works. If you get it out of the URL, it works everywhere but subcategories. If you put in the category slug, subcategories will work but other areas will not.

Has anyone got all of this to work? If you have, what are your settings.
53
iDope Says:
April 30th, 2009 at 11:29 am

@Mikey: It should work fine with subcategories and your post permalink structure won’t affect it. Make sure you have the latest 0.6 version.
54
iDope Says:
April 30th, 2009 at 11:39 am

Bencredible Says:
June 15th, 2009 at 12:22 am

First, awesome plugin. Exactly what I needed.

A minor problem. It seems that capitalization makes a difference. For example, these will yield different results:
http://www.spacevidcast.com/sts-127
http://www.spacevidcast.com/STS-127

It would be awesome if case didn’t make a difference as technically people should spell out STS on our site, but realistically many won’t. Anything I can do on my side to change that behavior?
60
iDope Says:
June 15th, 2009 at 1:24 am

@Mike Tommasi: The problem with that is your URLs will have a period in them.

@Bencredible: I believe that is the default Wordpress behavior as well. Wordpress slugs are in lower case only.
61
Bencredible Says:
June 15th, 2009 at 8:46 am

@iDope, not 100% sure. I know that WP categories always want to be lower case, but check out this example (where both work but go to different places):
http://www.spacevidcast.com/sts-125/
http://www.spacevidcast.com/STS-125/

So WP can see both cases and guide them to different locations, but it can’t seem to do the same thing for both cases.
62
Jamie Says:

This plugin is working fine when shortening links to Pages.

However, when clicking on Category hyperlinks i get a “Page Not Found” response.

Any idea why this occurs?
63
iDope Says:
June 16th, 2009 at 9:46 am

@Bencredible: I am looking into the issue.

@Jamie: This plugin does *not* affect page links. It changes category links only. Can you show me the links it is giving a 404 on?

Ricardo Says:
June 17th, 2009 at 7:07 am

Hi IDope!

is this plugin working with Wordpress 2.8?

Thanks
65
Mike Says:
June 18th, 2009 at 6:16 am

I have the same problem as others. It works only for regular links to remove “category” but if you have a sub cat and subcat, it removes the word but you get a page not found error. e.g.

cars/audi/1980/

and then it will list all the car articles from the 1980 audi. That category list gets a page not found. I could never get any of these category removers to work with WPMU, ever. I wasted weeks on this. Glad to try it again and see but that was my original problem.
66
iDope Says:
June 18th, 2009 at 6:33 am

@Ricardo: Yes, it will work fine with Wordpress 2.8.

@Mike: I myself use Wordpress MU and and works fine with it. Can you give me a link where its not working?
67
Mike Says:
June 18th, 2009 at 7:51 am

I can but I’ll simply tell you since I have to turn it off… who knows, maybe it is an httaccess, conflicting plugin, but it didn’t work when I tried the first time. I will install it on my new blog and test.

mysite.com/vehiclesblog/cars/audi/

What will happen is that links will be rewritten as the above instead of this:

mysite.com/vehiclesblog/cateogry/cars/audi

The problem is the above link yields a 404 error with the plugin. The link is rewritten properly but the server doesn’t know where it is. However, if you type in the URL as above with category in it, the page works for wordpress. Using the plugin it is ONLY in that usage.

Let me as you this – do you need to have anything as the baseurl? Right now I have nothing there.
68
iDope Says:
June 26th, 2009 at 9:05 am

I have released an updated version that will handle redirections from the old category links. It uses 301 permanent redirect which will transfer your PR to the new link and is good for SEO.
69
Scott Foley Says:
June 26th, 2009 at 9:41 am

Brilliant plugin. Thank you for your time in developing this. This is something that WP should implemented from the very beginning.
70
The Law Professor Says:
June 26th, 2009 at 11:56 am

Will this new updated version solve the subcategory issue that is stated above? The problem is that the two category level still yields the category word in the URL. I’m wondering if this isn’t solved and, if not, how neat it would be to be able to change it like, e.g. from category to “car” or something like that. You can’t enter that into Wordpress or it will use it every time, no matter how deep.
71
iDope Says:
June 26th, 2009 at 12:34 pm

@The Law Professor: I haven’t been able to reproduce that issue on my blogs. Let me know the links if its happening on yours.

June 26th, 2009 at 2:34 pm

Try this:

halk Says:
June 26th, 2009 at 3:02 pm

Hi,

thanks for the plugin.

I have problems with WPMU and BuddyPress.

1. Some categories get 404, i don’t know why.

http://www.apfelcenter.de/reviews/software-reviews/
http://www.apfelcenter.de/reviews/hardware-reviews/

2. Blogs of Wordpress don’t come in. they’re catched by rewrite rule and are searched for equal categories. I use the subdirectory method of WPMU.
74
iDope Says:
June 26th, 2009 at 3:26 pm

@halk: The software-reviews category is displaying fine. The hardware-reviews category is giving a 404 possibly because there are no posts in it (which is the default Wordpress behavior).

The links below bypass the Wordpress url rewriting engine (and hence this plugin) and should work weather the plugin is enabled or not.
http://www.apfelcenter.de/?category_name=reviews/software-reviews
(works, as does its rewritten version)

http://www.apfelcenter.de/?category_name=reviews/hardware-reviews
(404, indicating that either this category doesn’t exist or it has no posts)
75
iDope Says:
June 26th, 2009 at 3:48 pm

Missed the second part of your question. In MU, are you copying the plugin to the ‘mu-plugins’ folder or the ‘plugins’ folder? Plugins copied to the mu-plugins folder do not require activation and hence their activation hook never gets called. This is what updates the cached rewrite rules initially. However it is easy to refresh the rewrite rules just by visiting the ‘Permalinks’ page in the Wordpress admin.
76
halk Says:
June 26th, 2009 at 3:53 pm

thanks for your reply. Actually I managed the 1. problem with debugging an own plugin. I actually tested with disabling plugins, but maybe I forgot one.

any ideas about 2. problem?
77
halk Says:
June 26th, 2009 at 3:55 pm

I forgot to refresh.

Should I try with moving the plugin into mu-plugins?. I’ll try that.

The Law Professor Says:
July 4th, 2009 at 4:34 pm

This great plugin DOES work but only for main categories. It does not work for subcategories – that’s the problem I’m having. It’s really great but when you add it in for subcategories they break. I’ve unfortunately confirmed this at least in MU. I’ll see what happens in regular MP but I’m guessing it is the same.
80
iDope Says:
July 5th, 2009 at 1:21 am

If your MU is using sub-directory based blogs that might cause a problem as that changes the path. It works fine with sub-domain based MU blogs (which I use).
81
The Law Professor Says:
July 5th, 2009 at 11:33 am

Subdomain is different than subdirectory. I hesitated to use subdomain due to SEO and the fact that finagling with subdomains can complication many things, at least from what I saw. Personally I think it would be a nice way to break things up on my site but not sure it’s worth the potential SEO hit for content on a site. But I digress – it just doesn’t work with sub-subdirectories, two levels.

/carsblog/audi/204sg/

This breaks and leaves page not found.

July 8th, 2009 at 8:03 pm

First, for anyone doubting this plugin, it works exactly as it says. Brilliant!! It worked from the beginning, and I didn’t even have to clear my cache.

Unfortunately, I had to deactivate it.

My website has 2 pages that are a big focus. I currently have 2 main homepage posts redirecting to these pages. Long story, but to easily do this, I have created a category for each of these 2 posts. This plug-in gives the category priority over the page as it says. I didn’t find this to be a problem for me until I was finishing my testing. If this isn’t a problem for anyone, I recommend it to you.

iDope: Is there a way for me to make the page have priority over the category when both the page and category have the same name?? Or do you have plans for the next version to allow the user to select what they want to take priority?

Thanks for your time.
84
Trey Says:
July 8th, 2009 at 8:11 pm

Actually, if you (or anyone) can advise me how to easily redirect a specific category to the specific page (while using your plug-in), that should be a good solution to my issue. I really love this plug-in and want to use it.

Please help!!
85
Jamie Says:
July 9th, 2009 at 3:30 am

This plug-in works in some instances but falls down in others.

Kudos to iDope for building it, but there is a FAR, FAR simpler way to do this in the “Permalinks” page in your wordpress back-end

All you need to place in the category base field is a period. JUST ONE SINGLE, SOLITARY PERIOD!!

Go and try it!!
86
iDope Says:
July 9th, 2009 at 4:20 am

@Jamie: Please let me know the cases where it fails for you.

The period workaround does work but that adds a period to all your URLs kinda defeating the purpose.
87
Jamie Says:
July 9th, 2009 at 7:18 am

@iDope

I found it unable to affect the links as provided by my theme – perhaps i was setting it up wrong, i don’t know

The period doesn’t add a period to the URL. I was expecting it to, but it really doesn’t!
88
iDope Says:
July 9th, 2009 at 7:42 am

@Jamie: Let me know the link to your blog.

You can’t see the period when you mouseover the link as the browser automatically normalizes the link (’./’ is treated as the same directory on most file systems, i.e. ‘/’). If you view the source of the page the periods in the links will be visible (and they will be visible to search engine bots as well).
89
Trey Says:
July 9th, 2009 at 4:42 pm

Followup to my question from yesterday: if I change a category name (so I don’t have to worry about the 2 categories that will have the same page link), is there a way I can redirect those 2 categories to a specific page?

Do you think you could add the same thing for tags in the url?

Great work. I was having a problem where I could access a wordpress category, but I would get a 404 error on anything that was on /page/2/ or beyond. This problem every since upgrading to wordpress 2.8. After googling for hours, i stumbled upon this fix. I figured I would try it and sure enought, it fixed my category problem.
93
Paul Says:

Hey there!
first of all thanx a bunch for this great plugin. this is what i was searching for a while.
now, that i have installed and activated it.
and set the permalinks, custom to category/post.html
i can have the link for my posts to-
myblog.com/category/post.html
perfectly.
though, once i added a few sub-categories, its still showing the same way- myblog.com/category/post.html rather than myblog.com/category/sub-category/post.html?
Any help or suggestions?

Thanx and Regards

Trouble is somewhere in WP engine?

With WPML multilingual plugin this plugin works on archives but not on single post pages.

Putting \. in the Category base without any plugin seems to work, but the URL in source actually has a /./ instead of /category/ – but the links actually work. Not sure if this dot thing is a problem – will this come back to bite me?
104
iDope Says:
September 3rd, 2009 at 2:12 pm

@Mike Tommasi: This plugin *only* changes category permalinks (and by extension, category feed permalinks) as I have mentioned several times. Archive and single post links should remain the same as before.
105
Mike Tommasi Says:
September 3rd, 2009 at 2:15 pm

OK thx, but the problem is interaction with WPML. I use a different URL for each language, when I add your plugin all URLs go back to the english language one.

hifa Says:
September 4th, 2009 at 6:19 am

I’m also having problem when both WPML and WP No category Base are active.
the default language of my site is at http://elisidunyamiz.com and seconday language is http://elisidunyamiz.com/en/
I translated one of my posts and added relevant category. both in my header navigation and post info, category links are not retrieved correctly.
the /en/ base is surpassed from links. but when i de-activate WP No Category Base plugin, the category links in my secondary language do work.
I created a topic for this in WPML forums. you can see it at http://forum.wpml.org/topic.php?id=321

I hope you can co-work on this issue.
thanks for your hard work.
cheers~

but when i deactivate this plugin, my sub categories do not work. top categories work but subs not.
could you please guide us please ?
108
lydia Says:
September 10th, 2009 at 10:46 pm

in reading through the docs + comment threads, i see that this plugin is supposed to handle subcategories, creating a URL with /category/subcategory/postname/ . (though i also see some people want that and have trouble making it work.) what i’m looking for is the opposite: i want to include _only_ the top-level category in the permalink, regardless of whether the particular post has subcategories. can this plugin do it?
thanks.

115
eduardo Says:
October 25th, 2009 at 5:25 pm

Hey iDope,
Great work, congratulations. Just one request tough:
Your plugin removes more than the category-base, which makes it incompatible with multilanguage plguins that ad a locale indication to the URL (e.g. /pt/ for portuguese etc). I use WPML, and i have tested locally to come to this conclusion.

Any chance you would take a look at the issue soon? Your plugin is a blessing multi-lingual sites can’t have!

Thanks, Eduardo

Great Plugin. Very Useful.
However I got problems the way it adds rewrite rules in wp_options table. I am trying to make a directory website using wordpress and I am using this plugin. It was all ok. but when I added more than 3 thousand categories. The rewrite rules can’t be written cause rewrite_rules field exceeds 1MB mysql limit. And now I get 404 error on every category. Can you help in this regard.
127
in2s Says:
February 7th, 2010 at 8:57 am

It works great with categories as it does what it says it would: get rid of “categories” in urls.

the problem is if you have pages in your menu, the plug-in acts as if everything was a category, and since pages are not categories, the website doesn’t find the pages and I get a 404-type error.

What should I do?
128
annam Says:
February 14th, 2010 at 8:54 am

i just installed this plugin and it works great! one thing i notice though is that the “www” is gone from the url as well.

i tried deactivating the plugin and renaming the .htaccess file you create (should probably mention that in your readme file btw) and i still have no “www”. what else do i need to do to get it to come back?

thanks for the plugin. i might use it or might just rename the category base in WP Settings to an SEO friendly term…not sure yet. i think i prefer the www there, though…
129
annam Says:
February 14th, 2010 at 10:54 am

never mind… found how to fix the missing www: the plugin appears to change the blog’s URL address under General Settings in the WP Admin, removing the “www”. just had to put it back and save changes.

Thanks for this plugin – worked like a treat to fix a darn 404 error I had run into while trying to use another work-around.

@mongobread – I’ve found that wordpress chooses the page over the category if the slugs are the same, which worked perfectly for me because I was using sub categories to organise content displayed on sub pages and didn’t want people going to first level slug names (it instead sent them to the page of that name).
132
Gianfranco Says:
February 24th, 2010 at 3:59 am

Hi iDope,

The Wp No Category base plugin conflicts with the WP-Pagenavi plugin and it actually breaks the latter.

My setup:
WP: 2.9.2
WP No Category Base: 0.7
Wp Pagenavi: 2.61
Permalink structure: %postname%

Is that a common issue? Or it just happens to me?

Is there a possible fix.

Thanks in advance for the support.
133
Gianfranco Says:
February 24th, 2010 at 4:28 am

To be a little more specific, breaks Wp Pagenavi, means than from the blog page, when you click on page 2( or 3, or whatever) the page displays with no posts at all.
134
Pocopresto Says:
March 7th, 2010 at 2:57 pm

Thanks for this plugin – but doesn’t seem to work for me:

It did take out the category base, but it also took out all of the text from every post in every category, and marked all of the posts ‘private’ despite them showing as public and published in the back end. Once I deactivated it the posts went back to how they were before.

Am running WP2.9.1, with other plugins: AStickyPostOrderER
Category order
clean-contact
image widget
phpurchase
TS custom widgets
WP audio

Any suggestions gratefully received!?

and it works now. Is this okay?
I just copied and pasted another poster who had this:

@Gregorio Espadas: The plugin creates one rewrite rule for every category. Since there are only a few categories, this is fine. There can be thousands of tags in a typical blog so performance might take a hit if the same method is used for tags.

Hi,

I’m trying to figure out how this plug in works. I have it activated on my wordpress site, and I would like the permalink structure to show page names (example: http://www.livinghope.ie/calendar )

What do I put in the “Custom Structure”, “Category base”, and “Tag base” input sections?

When I put /%category% into custom structure, and /%pagename% into tag base it does not work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

@Jon: WordPress does not offer any way to customize the page permalink structure. But page permalinks are already in the format you describe (i.e. http://domain.com/page-name ), you just need to have pretty permalinks enabled (select any post permalink structure other than “Default”, say “/%category%/%postname%/”).

I would also like to point out again that No Category Base plugin affects only category permalinks and not posts, pages, tags, etc.

Hello,

I have used this plugin in the past, but currently I just installed, activated and /category was removed correctly. Then I decided to go back to having category and now ANY post that was working before is now broken.

Can you please describe what the plugin does and why this happened or what the solution is to have the posts return to normal? They were formatted as year/month/day/post-name.

If anyone else has experienced this and has a solution I would appreciate your feedback.

Thank you.

Hi iDope,

working on a new version of our portfolio website and it seems the pagination is working in one spot…
http://projektinc.com/wordpress/work/logos/

but not in another…
http://projektinc.com/wordpress/news/

being another level deep doesn’t seem to matter as this also works…
http://projektinc.com/wordpress/work/

but i can’t get pagination happening on the ‘news” area.

please help!

figured it out – sorry

it was because i had a “page” named “news” still in the database (not published – it was in the “trash”) – i chose “delete permanently” on that page in the trash, and now pagination works again on the “news” category.

maybe this will be helpful to someone else…

@Chad: The plugin does NOT affect posts. Only category links (and that too only while it is activated). Make sure you don’t have any caching enabled which might be causing it.

Great plugin, so simple, works everytime. Hey, by the way, your Captcha encrption is cool. Not see that anywhere before.

when I try and activate the plugin on WP 3.1.1 it ends up on a 404 not found page and the plugin is not activated.

Tried installing and re-installing.

I had a few categories and permalinks to posts (within the categories) creating a ‘404 error’ page — I found the problem was the combination of this plugin and using a custom page template to archive category posts -> http://bit.ly/mlhU3M

However, after some digging I figured out that deleting the .htaccess file then recreating it, seemed to resolve everything! It now works perfect! I’m using Wordpress 3.1.2.

So I just wanted to say, thank you so much for creating it!! You rule!

What happened to the plugin in Wordpress plugin repository?

The link doesn’t work:

Hi iDope, I tried to download your plug-in but it says 404 error. Why is that? I want to use it to my other site. Is there any issue/problem with the plug-in that will possibly affect the overall performance of the site? Please let me know.

What happened to this plugin? It’s not available as a download from wordpress.org or wp admin.

Does this plugin still exist online somewhere? The download link seems to be broken and I can’t find it on the Wordpress.org plugin directory. I’ve used this in the past and it’s been a great help–thanks so much for your work and support!

up to 3.1, does this even work with 3.2+?

disregard, it is working on my updated 3.2.1 site. I’l click that at the plugin site

And thankyou, for this great plugin. Why this isn’t an option in wordpress, is beyond me.

I installed this plugin and it worked great! However, after noticing that my Query Posts plugin used in multiple places was suddenly NOT working I decided to uninstall No Category Base and see if it was related. However, now that I’ve done that the Query Posts plugin is permanently broken.

Are there any options added to the WP Options table that get left behind after uninstalling? This is a pretty serious issue for me.

Is this compatible with Wordpress version 3.2.1? It doesn’t seem to be working for me after I installed and activated it. I still get the /category/ in the URL.

Hi
I am using wordpress 2.9 on a community website.

Activating the plugin (version 1.0)gives me this error:

The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

I am using the same version on other sites with wp 3.1 with no problem.

Can you help?
216
iDope Says:
August 26th, 2011 at 10:41 pm

@Irwin Lawson: Version 1.0 of the plugin requires WordPress 3.1 or higher as mentioned on the plugin page. Use the older 0.7 version of the plugin if you cannot upgrade your WordPress to 3.1.

@DataJunkee: The plugin does not make any changes to the WP files or DB

Where can I download version 0.7?
