Indepth post. It made my eyes boggle for a moment, but I had to re-read a couple times before ‘got’ what you were saying. But it makes a lot of sense. Just make sure to categorize in one category only, and not in both child and parent categories (which is what wordpress tries to do).

@ Roy Sencio, Lorelle, Gaston

Looking at your website, you still haven’t figured out how to fix the problem you are having with your category permalinks, where they look like this: “http://domain-name/category/category-title”.

I have had success with the “WP No Category Base” plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-no-category-base/).

I did not have to modify any code, I just activated the plugin and the default “category base” was gone from my blog forever.

Cheers,
Stu.

The problem I’m having is I want to select which category to use in the permalink, rather than have wordpress decide for me.

KJ you might need to clear some caching…

I need to get the phrase ‘category’ back into my post permalinks. Does anyone know how to do this? If I add /category/ to the custom permalink it doesn’t like it, results in 404 pages. Help on this would be gratefully appreciated.

[...] more than one? If you use a “pretty URL” structure for your blog posts, do the multiple categories clash with that structure at all? I’m considering taking the category out of my permalink structure altogether to minimize [...]

Hi.. I think I got lost somewhere… but I have this predicament.

My URL structure includes my category and hence reads this way..
“http://domain-name/category/post-title”…. but when I check out the categories, the category reads “http://domain-name/category/category-title” .. my question is… is it possible for me to change the URL to convert that into “http://domain-name/category-title”?

Thanks, I appreciate the help.
