Make sure your categories have unique slugs – watch out for post/pages with the 
same slugs. Normally WordPress uses the category prefix to distinguish page from
a category, but with this plugin you need to make sure the slugs are unique, otherwise
some pages might turn up instead of categories.

activate plugin. That’s it! 🙂
