   I have set my Permalinks structure to /%postname%/ and saved the changes but I still get /category/ appearing between my domain name and the post name, e.g.: "mydomain.com/category/postname. Even after I refresh the page the word "category" remains.

   I was advised to delete the "htaccess" file so I deleted it but it made no difference.

   How can I stop the word "category" from appearing in my permalinks?

   hello,

   If you use this "/%postname%". may be it solve.
   just remove one backslash behind from above code.

   Thanks, Crish - but it did not work, unfortunately. It's a very stubborn problem! I've sent a message to my hosting company, I hope they can help. Best wishes!

   hi,

   If you set your htaccess file with this code may be it will be set as per your requirement.

   Code :

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

   Thanks.
   crish
