I was having an issue.

I have four languages on my website, and whenever I was testing to flush the permalinks, the get_categories returned a different number of categories, creating some 404 categories.

I have checked, and it looks like $sitepress has added a few new filters for the get_categories; improving the code a bit helped me return all the categories no matter the language I’m flushing the permalinks in.

Let me know your thoughts.

hey, if i remove the /category/categoryname and then i have custom page made with elementor for the /categoryname will it overwrite it or it will use the one i have with elementor?

The preview image in media editor is not working when you have this plugin enabled.

You should remove the ?> at the end of the PHP file.

Please update your plugin so it effectively removes the category slug from WooCommerce. We have tried EVERYTHING and only your plugin works to remove the category from our posts… so we really need your help as you are the only one who can likely solve this for us.

With WooCommerce we can’t have the custom base ‘/shop’ (or what ever we set in permalinks) the same for both products and categories? I see many unresolved issues (see below links) and hope you can shed some light on it for us.

Product should be:
\shop\product-slug
Category should be:
\shop\category-slug

I’ve wasted hours on this:

? Different values for ‘Custom base’ and ‘Product category base’ – they can not be the same value!
? I can’t even get custom .htaccess to work for me (!?)

I’ll need this working somehow so my existing links will be the same when I move from my old VirtueMart store to this WooCommerce store. Something is weird with permalinks for WooCommerce, see these are all unresolved:

404 error URL encoding issue. Typical problem was 2 post on this topic but no solution found. With the Latin alphabet no problems, the plugin works, but with Cyrillic problems. If you open the menu, the link works, but when vstavlyaesh simply link to the url of the browser gives an error 404. Sorry for my English.

Hello everyone,

I have a wierd problem in 2 of my websites..

When I surf in the web and go into pages they work excellent, but if I copy the link and than paste it (send to someone, paste to the browser), suddenly it gives back 404 error.

I couldn’t understand what is the cause for that problem, I hope you guys will figure this out. I think its probably the wp no category base plugin.

p.s. the problem only happens in categories, not in the other pages.

this is an example of where the problem causes:

the plugin link straight from wordpress (visit plugin site) is returning a 404 error and the plugin is not working.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-no-category-base/

I’ve installed the plugin, and it works fine, with the exception that it does not work for category links on the index page. Everywhere else, it works perfectly, but all category links on the index page still have the “/category/” base.

Can anyone tell me if this still plugin still works OK with WP 3.9?
There are no votes for the combination yet and the plugin and it’s comaptibility info have’nt been updated for almost a year now…
If not, can you point me to an alternative that does?
Since WordPress SEO dropped the same functionality I have this running on multiple sites and I’d like to know wether I can safely update them to WP 3.9
Thanks!

My website has this permalink structure:

/%category%/%postname%/

I installed WP NO CATEGORY BASE and I activate it.

The problem is that it don’t convert very well the URLs: For example:

mysite.it/category/personalcategory
become

mysite.itpersonalcategory
So the url is not valid….because the slash is not present:

mysite.it/personalcategory
What is wrong? I have WP3.7. Thanks a lot.

I’m migrating a website to WP and thought that “WP No Category Base” would help. The site has 100s of pages all with static page names. When I create a page in WP, it appends the menu directory structure to the page name. This ruins the site’s internal links (of which there are 1000s). Is there a way to preserve the original relative web page names without WP rendering the URLs useless?

I want all my page names to sit on the root domain, i.e., https://www.mydomain.com/page_name

I do not want them to become https://www.mydomain.com/top_level_menu/2nd_level_menu/page_name

Hope that makes sense! Thanks

Hi

The plugin was working fine with 3.6.1 but doesn’t work on 3.7.
I’ve set up a new website , activated the plugin, but on 3.7 options in permalinks menu don’t appear (with 3.6.1 no problem)

Is there a fixed release planned?

Thanks

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-no-category-base/

I noticed a strange problem related to the plugin.
I am using categories with greek characters. WordPress encodes the category name in the urls like so:
https://www.mydomain.com/%cf%80%ce%bf%ce%bb%ce%b9%cf%84%ce%b9%ce%ba%ce%b7/

In this case WP No category base works as expected.
However when i am copying and pasting the exact same link to another tab in my browser the link is encoded using the equivalent upper-case characters like so:
https://www.mydomain.com/%CF%80%CE%BF%CE%BB%CE%B9%CF%84%CE%B9%CE%BA%CE%B7/

in that case WP No category base fails and a the 404 page appears.

Any ideas how i can solve this problem?

Hello there,

I don’t know whether this is an issue with the plugin, or some form of caching. Anyway, my employer’s website is https://www.esbgc.org. When I visit it in a browser in which I have not logged into the WP admin, the site is still behaving as if the plugin is installed – take https://www.esbgc.org/early-years-services/, for example; works fine when I’m logged into the admin in one browser, but is showing category posts in another where I am not logged in. I have emptied the browser’s cache, deactivated the caching plugin I had been using…

Any suggestions?

Best wishes.

If you wanted to remove this plugin, how can you do so and reset your permalinks structure without having everything 404?

Hello good people,

Will this work to remove “blog/” from the RSS feed URL?

I updated a single site WordPress installation to multisite and all of the RSS feed addresses changed.

Now the blog/ directory is in the feed address and all the original feed addresses (which all members and iTunes users have) are broken.

BEFORE MULTISITE

https://www.domain.com/category/categoryname/feed/

AFTER MULTISITE

https://www.domain.com/blog/category/categoryname/feed/

How can I remove “blog/” from the RSS feed URL?

I really, really, gotta, gotta get this feed back up fast!

Thank you,

Chris

Hello, when i installed No Category Base i found out that there’s over 300 Queries , all of that because that i’ve over 100 category , so please who can make queries bing less ? Thanks

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wp-no-category-base/

so slow when i install it !

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wp-no-category-base/

nice plugin. does what it says. great way to clean up those urls. however, the redirect bypasses one of my conditional tags… ?php if (is_category( 'x' )) echo …

Any ideas on how to keep those conditions intact?

Thanks!

hello

i just wanted to say that i have had a small issue with custom taxonomies. After adding a new custom tax, I have to deactivate then reactivate the plugin. Otherwise i get 404 errors on my taxonomies when displaying https://example.com/mytaxonomy/example1

However, it works great otherwise.
Thank you.

Hi there. I was experimenting with this plugin to achieve a specific url structure in which i have a page called “mypage” and a category called “mypage” with sub-categories under it. I have some custom php that brings in the “mypage category” feed into the “mypage page” so that I can display static content with the category specific feed underneath. After activating the plugin, I realized that my page url was now being overridden with the category archive with the same name (I see now that this is in the FAQ but I did not see it before).

The problem is that once i noticed this, i deactivated the plugin and all of my regular subcategory urls returned to how they were (with the category base back in) but my page url still is directing me to a category archive of the “mypage” category.

How can I undo this? I need to get my static page back with its original URL.

Thanks

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wp-no-category-base/

The URLs became inconsistent after activating this plugin.

The function no_category_base_permastruct() replaces the entire permalink structure instead of removing only the category base. For example, if my structure is /blog/%category%/%postname%/ the category structure is initially /blogs/category/%category%. Removing the base with this plugin should make it /blogs/%category%, but instead it was just %category%.

This could be fixed by including the existing front like so:

function no_category_base_permastruct() {
	global $wp_rewrite, $wp_version;
	if (version_compare($wp_version, '3.4', '<')) {
		// For pre-3.4 support
		$wp_rewrite -> extra_permastructs['category'][0] = $wp_rewrite->front . '%category%';
	} else {
		$wp_rewrite -> extra_permastructs['category']['struct'] = $wp_rewrite->front . '%category%';
	}
}

I didn’t test on a version less than 3.4 so I can’t guarantee prepending front will work for older versions.

Hey,

I have two subcategories, but the plugin “stops” at the first one like

https://www.blog.com/category/post/

But the structure should be:

https://www.blog.com/category/subcategory/post/

What could I do?

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wp-no-category-base/

Hi,

I have a problem with a 2nd category page not appearing. I have the following category structure: blog is the main category and the rest are subcategories of blog, e.g. /blog/testberichte/

So https://fotobeam.de/blog/testberichte/ is ok and the 2nd page is also working https://fotobeam.de/blog/testberichte/page/2/

However it is also possible to open just the subcategory as https://fotobeam.de/testberichte/
Curiously the link to the 2nd page is not working there: https://fotobeam.de/testberichte/page/2/

Due to this I get some 404 errors. Do you know how to fix this?
Without the plugin the link https://fotobeam.de/category/testberichte/page/2/ is working.

Thanks,
Andreas

wp 3.5 releasing soon

Hello everyone,
I’m using the lastest version of both WP and WP-NO-BASE (3.4.2 and 1.1)
I need to hide the path /category/ from my (still local)multilangual website. There is a compatibility problem with qtranslate plugin (+ qtranslate slug plugin)
I already saw at
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/resolved-plugin-wp-no-category-base-compatibility-with-qtranslate-plugin
and this is exactly what I need, but now version has changed and the code also, so a new fix is required.
Thank you for your help and patience.
