Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about No Category Base (WPML)
Use this plugin if you want to get rid of WordPress' "Category base" completely. The normal behavior of WordPress is to add '/category' to your category permalinks if you leave "Category base" blank in the Permalink settings. So your category links look like 'mysite.com/category/my-category/'. With this plugin your category links will look like 'mysite.com/my-category/' (or 'mysite.com/my-category/sub-category/' in case of sub categories).
As far as I can tell, no. We have been using this on several sites for a while and it doesn't break anything.
Simply don't have a page and category with the same slug. Even if they do have the same slug it won't break anything, just the category will get priority (Say if a category and page are both 'xyz' then 'mysite.com/xyz/' will give you the category). This can have an useful side-effect. Suppose you have a category 'news', you can add a page 'news' which will show up in the page navigation but will show the 'news' category.
No, you can use this plugin without having WPML installed.
Just ask on the support forum. If its useful enough and we have time for it, sure.
Go to Settings -> Permalinks and then click on Save Changes.
