• The URLs became inconsistent after activating this plugin.

    The function no_category_base_permastruct() replaces the entire permalink structure instead of removing only the category base. For example, if my structure is /blog/%category%/%postname%/ the category structure is initially /blogs/category/%category%. Removing the base with this plugin should make it /blogs/%category%, but instead it was just %category%.

    This could be fixed by including the existing front like so:

    function no_category_base_permastruct() {
    	global $wp_rewrite, $wp_version;
    	if (version_compare($wp_version, '3.4', '<')) {
    		// For pre-3.4 support
    		$wp_rewrite -> extra_permastructs['category'][0] = $wp_rewrite->front . '%category%';
    	} else {
    		$wp_rewrite -> extra_permastructs['category']['struct'] = $wp_rewrite->front . '%category%';
    	}
    }

    I didn’t test on a version less than 3.4 so I can’t guarantee prepending front will work for older versions.

  • Thanks for the fix!

    No, you don’t need to test it for WordPress version less than 3.4. Sometimes we as developer should educate users (by forcing them to upgrade) 😉

    Looks like this was incorporated into the plugin but the issue still exists for me. WP 3.6.1
