 * Ive tried many plugins etc and yet i still can not get wordpress to display legitimate
   seo urls!
 * I want category urls to display purely the current cat url no matter if its a
   child or parent category such as domainname.com/test
 * at the same time i want all posts to display just the post url too without category
   before the post url!
 * I just can not get this to work no matter what i try?
 * Any suggestions?
