   Hey everyone!

   First time reaching out to the forums for help, so I hope I can find an answer in your collective brain awesomeness!

   I am using the Category widget and I want to modify the links it displays. I am using a custom permalink structure: /%category%/%postname%

   The links in the category widget are currently displaying like:
   domain.com/category/category_name

   My desired result is:
   domain.com/category_name

   If I remove /%category% from the permalink structure, the category link remains the same format. I wish I could set the category base to blank, or no-display somehow.

   Is what I am trying to accomplish possible? If so, can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!!

   My desired result is:
   domain.com/category_name

   That won't work. There are some plugins that claim to do it, but their users always come back saying that it doesn't work. There is a reason why the "category base" must be there.

   (bumping is not something we like here...)
