    Hello @freemason

    Thank you for your message.

    Firstly, we do not recommend changing the permalink URL structure if your website is already getting some traffic and the pages are indexed. The URL structure does not have any direct impact on the rankings.

    But if you still want to change the structure, you can do that from here:
    /wp-admin/options-permalink.php
    WP Dashboard > Settings > Permalink Settings

    Hope that helps.

    HI,

    Thank you for your prompt answer. However, my problem is not on where to change the permalinks. My problem is on the proper Regex expression to turn the current permalink (domain/category/post) into the new permalink (domain/post). I need to find the proper Regex expression to remove the Category from the permalink.

    I tryed teh follwing but it doesn work:

    Source: ^/.*?/(.*)
    Target: /$1/

    Can you help me on this?

    Regards

    Please try the following pattern:
    Source: ^[^/]+/([^/]+)/?$
    Destination: $1

    Hope that helps. Thank you.
