## 描述

Remove Category URL strips the `/category/` base from your category URLs, turning
something like `/category/my-category/` into simply `/my-category/`.

Just activate, and you’re done. No configuration needed.

### Features

 * Creates cleaner URLs like `mydomain.com/my-category/` and `mydomain.com/my-category/
   my-post/`
 * Works out of the box with no settings to configure
 * Supports multiple sub-categories
 * Automatically 301 redirects old category URLs to the new structure (SEO-friendly)
 * Sitemaps are automatically updated with the new URLs after activation
 * Compatible with WordPress Multisite, WPML, and popular sitemap plugins

### Why remove /category/ from URLs?

The `/category/` base in WordPress URLs is there by default, but it doesn’t help
your visitors or search engines understand your content any better. When you remove`/
category/` from URLs, you get cleaner paths like `mydomain.com/news/` instead of`
mydomain.com/category/news/`. They’re shorter, easier to remember and share, and
more consistent with how your pages are already structured.

Shorter URLs also tend to look better in search results and make your site feel 
more polished overall. Removing the category base is a small change that makes your
whole URL structure cleaner.

## 安装

 1. In your WordPress admin, go to **Plugins > Add New**
 2. In the Search field, type **“Remove Category URL”**
 3. Under “Remove Category URL” by Themeisle, click the **Install Now** link
 4. Once the process is complete, click the **Activate Plugin** link

You’re done! No configuration is needed.

## 常见问题

### Will this break my existing links?

No. The plugin automatically redirects your old category URLs to the new shorter
ones using 301 redirects. So if someone visits `mydomain.com/category/my-category/`,
they’ll be seamlessly redirected to `mydomain.com/my-category/`.

### What happens if a page or other content has the same slug as a category?

The category will take priority. So if you have both a category and a page with 
the slug travel, visiting `mydomain.com/travel/` will load the category archive,
not the page. To avoid conflicts, make sure your categories don’t share slugs with
pages, posts, or other content on your site.

### Does this remove the base from other taxonomies like WooCommerce product categories?

No, this plugin only affects the built-in WordPress category taxonomy. For WooCommerce,
you’d need a different solution.

### What happens if I deactivate the plugin?

If you deactivate the plugin, your category URLs will revert to the default WordPress
structure with `/category/` in the path.

If you only deactivate the plugin without uninstalling it, you will need to flush
permalinks manually. You can do this by going to **Settings > Permalinks** and clicking**
Save Changes**.

If you uninstall the plugin, permalinks are flushed automatically.

Note that after deactivation, links pointing to the shortened URLs will no longer
work unless you set up your own redirects.

### I uninstalled the plugin, but /category/ didn’t come back. Why?

You’ll need to manually refresh your permalinks. Go to **Settings  Permalinks** 
and click **Save Changes**. This will restore the default `/category/` base.

I used this plug-in recently and when I analysed my sites via Google Search Console,
none of my pages were referenced. Each time, the Google crawler told me that the
URL was invalid or that the server had a problem (with the page inspector).I removed
the plug-in and everything was back to normal (I now use Rank Math to remove the
category).Maybe this plug-in has had its day in the past, but be careful now.

Este plugin hace algo que en mi opinión debería hacer nativamente Wordpress. Elimina
ese molesto “category” de nuestras urls para darle un aspecto más naturar a todas
las urls de categorías de la web.

If you are like me .. there are some websites that need this function..It works 
and is a fundamental fix.. so don’t worry if it isn’t an ‘updated plugin’. The Category
Base hasn’t changed in Wordpress.. and this works better than adding “.” in the 
permalink area.
