Daily Tip: Quick Trick to Remove /category/ From WordPress URL

Having /category/ in the url of your blog url isn’t very handy for most people, especially those wanting to use WordPress as a non-blog style CMS. By default WordPress shows category archives like so:

http:/yourblog.com/category/quotes/

If you want to remove /category/ from the url, follow these two steps:

1. Go to Settings >> Permalinks and select Custom and enter: /%category%/%postname%/

2. Next set your Category Base to /.

Save it and you’ll see your URL changed to this format:

http:/yourblog.com/quotes/
