 * Right now my category url structure is
 * domain.com/category/category-name
    domain.com/category/category-name/sub-cat 
   domain.com/category/category-name/sub-cat/sub-cat-sub-cat-2
 * Why is my second sub category slug attached to the first sub category slug? To
   see what i’m talking about look at the categories on [http://reviews.ruddo.com/](http://reviews.ruddo.com/).
 * Also is there a way to remove the hierarchy in the category url structure?
    I
   just want the category urls to be
 * domain.com/category
    domain.com/sub-category
 * instead of
 * domain.com/category
    domain.com/category/sub-category

 * In that case, amend Sub-category to be top level instead of a child of Category.
   If you know what I mean…

 * I have the same question. There must be a way to link to a category archive without
   including the category hierarchy. Even something like the default ugly post permalinks
   would be fine with me.
