   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

   Capefox... I am having the same issue... how did you fix this? My .htaccess file matches this - doesn't work. Every time I set permalinks to "Custom Structure" and click SAVE, it resets it to "Post name", the option above.

   mauricen, I am sorry but I have no recollection of how I fixed this problem - it was 6 months ago! I hope someone else can help you. Best regards!

   We're seeing the same problem as mauricen (above). The "save" resets back.

   Please list your domain, your post slug, and your post id for our testing.

    The domain: http://janevblanchard.com/

    There is no particular post. We're in the dashboard, dealing with the Permalink choices. See the screenshot:

    Whenever we click the "Custom structure" choice and hit save, it jumps back to "Post name."
