Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

THIS PLUGIN IS NOW OBSOLETE,PLEASE SWITCH TO

‘WP NO CATEGORY BASE’

PLUGIN

org/code/wordpress/decategorizer/ for the

explanation, thanks!

“Decategorizer” will remove the category base from your category

links, and turn your category URLs from something like

“http://yourdomain/category/news/” to “http://yourdomain/news/”.

Features:

301 redirection for old category links added automatically;

works with most permalink structures (please e-mail me or leave

a comment on plugin’s site if it doesn’t work for you);

you can safely use variables in your category URLs

var=val);

sitemap plugins compatible;

it works with multiple subcategory links

(http://yourdomain/categoryname/subcategoryname/subsubcategoryname/)

“Decategorizer” needs John Godley’s

‘Redirection’

plugin to work and it will disable itself if Redirection is

not installed.

More info

To see the end result before you decide to install, please

org and

browse around. You’ll notice that no url contains “category” and still

everything works just fine.

I don’t think I’ve ever written a readme before. Is it full of

spelling and grammar errors? Too long? I suck at explaining how things

work? Drop me an e-mail if something’s bugging you about this text 🙂

Plans for the next version?

(modified on February 10th 2009 at 11:36PM)

Make it a “Redirection” extending class – does that make any sense?

Probably.

Or maybe move from “Redirection” completely and just write the values

htaccess file?

Leave a comment here (WordPress forums) or on my site, or send me an

e-mail if you would like to see something added to the plugin.

Thanks for reading this 🙂
