Remove “Category” from Wordpress URLS, maintain pagination
Oct 22nd
There’s now a great plugin for this!
See WP No Category Base to download and install the plugin. It does all that the hack below does, but better, and instantly.
In fact, I did have some issues with the hack after upgrading Wordpress, so found this plugin instead.
So this one’s been a killer for a long time: you can hack Wordpress in several ways to remove /category/ from the URL, though pagination and all sorts of other nasty side-effects arise.
Anyway, it’s finally been done – you can now remove /category/ from Wordpress URLS, maintain pagination and everything else!
In fact, the fix even writes out /category/ when generating category links through get_the_category or single_cat_title: instead of just redirecting it afterwards as other hacks have done.
Wordpress login page keeps reloading
Jun 13th
It seems I’m not the only one that has had issues with the Wordpress login page (wp-admin) reloading itself without logging in.
I made a post on the Wordpress support thread with my fix, though thought I should expand here. This may not fix the issue for all users, as the reloading might be the result of other problems or faulty plugins.
