 * currently i’m still developing my theme offline on xampp. The problem i’m facing
   is whenever i create a new category eg. events (as main, without parent) it automatically
   sit on a parent category (sale) which i already remove. Thus, instead of being:
   localhost/wordpress/events it becomes localhost/wordpress/sale/events.
 * any idea how to fix it?

 * it would normally be
    `localhost/wordpress/category/events`
 * check on your permalinks page – Settings / Permalinks
    to see if you have anything
   entered in “Category base”
