 * Hey Guys – I am struggling to get the correct URL “pretty link” structure.
 * The issue is as follows. I have set /%postname%/ as the structure and it works
   fine except for categories, where it inserts an additional word before the /%
   postname%/
 * i.e. [http://www.airport-parking-quote.co.uk/reviews/airport/edinburgh-airport-parking-reviews/](http://www.airport-parking-quote.co.uk/reviews/airport/edinburgh-airport-parking-reviews/)(
   where does the /airport/ come from?)
 * Once you click through to the individual posts, the structure works fine.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 * [@keesiemeijer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keesiemeijer/) – thanks for
   pointing me in the right direction – it’s the optional category base that was
   enabled as “airport”…although deleting it now results in a ‘Page Not Found’…anyway
   thanks for the input!
