   Regardless of whether I set permalinks to:
   /%postname% or /%category%/%postname%

   The URL always includes /category/

   eg.

   website.co.uk/category/mycategory/mypage

   Is there a way to tidy this without changing core code?

   Thanks esmi, but that is exactly what I read to set-up the permalinks.

   I would like my URL to be:
   website.co.uk/mycategory/mypage
   but I get:
   website.co.uk/category/mycategory/mypage
   (where /category is literally, always "/category")

   I have numerous websites with different templates and the same is true in all cases.

   I can't see what else to try. /%postname% and /%category%/%postname% seem to produce exactly the same result.

   .htaccess is exactly as recommended:

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
