hi all. i'm setting up wordpress and i'd like to do something like this:
lets say my website is "http://www.a.com" and i have two categories "b" and "c"
currently they show up like "http://www.a.com/category/b/" and "http://www.a.com/category/c/"
but i would like them to show up like "http://www.a.com/b/" and "http://www.a.com/c/"
what rewriterules should i add to my .htaccess to have this happen? (i'm good with regular expressions but i'm unfamiliar with mod_rewrite and how to script it. thanks!)
k i figured this out, and it doesn't involve mod_rewrite.
in /wp-includes/classes.php find this line (1079)
$this->category_structure = $this->front . 'category/';
and replace it with
$this->category_structure = $this->front . '';
and thats it! there may be some other issues with this i haven't found, but it does change the links generated to categories by wordpress, and following those links brings up the correct archive page.
I tried this mod but whenever I clicked on post url, I'll get 404 error
Note that if you try that mod things will get interesting if you have a WP Page name the same as a Category name.
thats true handysolo.
the way my site is structured, there are only two main "sections" which are the "b" and "c", and i dont use the pages feature of wordpress. (yet)
