Basically, it turns your URL's from something like "http://yourdomain/category/news/" to "http://yourdomain/news/".

It is meant to be used together with John Godley's 'Redirection' plugin. "Decategorizer" will disable itself if Redirection is not installed.

I recommend using Redirection version 2.x. (Last tested with version 2.0.9)

Changelog:

0.5.2 = october 31st Minor code changes

0.5.1 = october 30th 2008 fixed: static homepage pagination static posts page pagination 301 redirection for paginated category/tag archives with slugs including category_base

0.5 = october 26th 2008 Plugin will now automatically disable itself if "Redirection" is not installed/activated. Added notifications on top of the admin screens. Added 301 redirection for old permalinks containing /category_base/ (thanks Utilaje!). Added support for permalinks without trailing slash (thanks PH!). Redirections are now added when the plugin is activated, and on a few other occasions (see bottom of plugin file for all the hooks). Plugin no longer runs on each and every pageload. Hooray :)

0.4 - plugin now checks if redirection tables exist (d'oh) before starting to work. It also checks whether adding redirections is actually needed (if you have no child categories, for example). -> removed in 0.5 for compatibility reasons ('/%postname%' permalinks).

0.3 - added automatic creation of redirection rules. PLEASE NOTE: Although I've been testing the plugin for the past two hours, do try it at home first. REMINDER TO SELF: addslashes(), INSERT, save your sanity...

0.2.1 - instead of setting back categorybase to its default value, the current value is used, so one's permalinks don't get broken if they decide to deactivate the plugin. Sorry for that, current users :/ Please check your 'categorybase' value.

0.2 - added the filter to 'category_link' as well. No more "/category/" in links when using "Google XML Sitemaps" and "Dagon Design Sitemap Generator" plugins :)
