just found this: http://fortes.com/projects/wordpress/top-level-cats/
removes the “category” (or whatever string you used in place of it) before the category name in the permalink.
thanks to everyone,i have the same problem whit Toucouleur.
now i use the plugin”top_level_cats” which sofimi recommend,it has worked well 🙂
Solved!
Here is the solution:
install this plugin:
http://fortes.com/projects/wordpress/top-level-cats/
Use the permalink structure: /%category%/%postname%.html
set base category as ‘category’ (or anything else)
It won’t work without the html on the end.
works like a dream!

Is it posible to remove the sub categories from the URL too?
(edited)
Ive already done it the right way — without breaking the paging when viewing category archives.
Just have to figure out the plugin.
With the plugin you can remove the “category/” but is it possible to remove the subcategoryes too?
for example is it’s “movies/disney” just have “disney”
With the plugin you can remove the “category/”
you are referring to THAT ^^ plugin up there. I am not.
The purpose of that plugin, and the purpose of the one that I am going to make available is not to remove the category names themselves, be they parent categories or child categories, but to remove the word “category”.
In short — no.
atleast not using the permalink structure I have been using to test this with.
It depends on your permalink structure whether or not the category names are even included in the permalink. So one persons experience may be different than someone elses.
In fact, your questions make make me hesitant to even work on this —
Use the permalink structure: /%category%/%postname%.html
set base category as ‘category’ (or anything else)
It won’t work without the html on the end.
Actually I just activated the plugin and it worked instantly, I didn’t need to mess with the permalinks.
