   Hi,

   People can visit my category pages at:

   mysite.com/catname

   I set this up via the permalink structure.

   However it can also be visited by

   mysite.com/category/catname

   Can I turn this off, I want this to produce a 404?

   I'm slightly confused as the plugin didn't seem to help at all.

   My Permalink structure is:

   /%category%/%postname%/

   and this works fine without any plugins. My posts are viewed like:

   site/catname/postname

   My problem is my categorys have individual homepages which are linked like:
   site/catname

   This also works fine. The problem is for some reason, when I make a post and in other areas where it says "Posted in Cat Name" it will link to

   site/category/catname

   It shouldn't say the word category it should just be:

   site/catname

   So effectivly both site/catname and site/category/catname are duplicate contents at the moment for me.
