   Since I upgraded to 3.1 I have had an issue with my category URLs.

   In 3.0.5 (using All-in-one-SEO) if I had parent categories like

   http://www.mysite.com/category/parent-1/parent-2/child/

   The URL would be http://www.mysite.com/category/child/

   Now it's back to showing the parents. Did something change in the wp-includes/category-template.php file?

   How do I remove parent categories from the urls?

   I have got exactly the same issue.
   Is it possible to remove the parent category from the url with WordPress 3.1 ?

   I finally find a way to change this!

   Put this code in your functions.php fiel :

   add_action( 'init', 'build_taxonomies', 0 );  
   
   function build_taxonomies() {
   
     register_taxonomy( 'category', 'post', array(
   		'hierarchical' => true,
   	 	'update_count_callback' => '_update_post_term_count',
   		'query_var' => 'category_name',
   		'rewrite' => did_action( 'init' ) ? array(
   					'hierarchical' => false,
   					'slug' => get_option('category_base') ? get_option('category_base') : 'category',
   					'with_front' => false) : false,
   		'public' => true,
   		'show_ui' => true,
   		'_builtin' => true,
   	) );
   
   }

   Setting the hierarchical parameter of the rewrite parameter to false does the job perfectly! :)

   That worked, but the way it was before I switched to 3.1 was that if you did land on

   http://www.mysite.com/category/parent-1/parent-2/child/

   It would redirect to

   http://www.mysite.com/category/child/

   Thanks for the tip - I love learning.
