Hi Jamie,

thanks a lot for your reply.

“Regarding the URL of?https://dan-baisal.com/cars-and-automotive/, it sounds like you updated the page title but not the slug, which is what is used for the URL.”

That’s true, I didn’t think of that, but now I’ve updated it and so far it looks like I want. Thank you!

“Is there a reason you are creating pages for categories rather than just using the built-in category archives?”

Actually no, I’m just working with a pre-made website template, that was provided by an author from an online course. I think it was actually intended to be just a single webpage, but I decided to turn in into a category page, since it was there. I think I’ll just stick to regular category pages in WP.

But I thought that I created the Mazda subcategory as an actual subcategory. It’s not? The main category of car reviews is the one that I link to from a WP page.

“Category is the default base for the Category taxonomy.”

Could you please elaborate on that? It sounds a bit too complicated for me.

“In WP Admin > Settings > Permalinks, you can change it (at the bottom of that page) but you can’t remove it without a plugin or custom code.”

Would it help to simply delete it and re-create it as a subcategory? Or will I run into this issue on all newly created (sub)categories?
