Hi guys.
Is there a way to set the rewrite rules for categories so that they appear as pages? -- Or alternately swap the rules?
Eg, I have:
yoursite.com/category/catname
what I want is:
yoursite.com/catname
I'd be prepared to live with having /pages/ before pages to make that happen if necessary.
Does this require hacking core, or is someone perhaps aware of a trick or plugin I can make use of?
I'm still using 2.3.3 but...if you go into Options > Permalinks
Change the custom structure to
/%category%/%postname%
If I'm understanding your post right, that should get you where you need to go.
No, sorry, I didn't really explain myself in very much detail.
I'm talking about browsing the category archives themselves, not the single posts... like when you click a category in the sidebar.
What you end up with has the word category (or a word of your choosing) before the actual category slug. I want to remove that level entirely, the way it is for pages.
... even if that means I have to have a term before the page slug instead of a term before the category slug.
Ahhh...I understand now.
Oh hey nice find...
It's dirty but workable with a view to finding a better solution 3 years from now...
I don't care when a nice solution comes about, I just don't want to start a new site and fill google with links that will eventually turn to 404s.
Thanks a lot for the help
