No Category Base Pro

No Category Base Pro for taxonomy URL control

WordPress category URLs normally include a /category/ segment. No Category Base Pro removes it automatically, changing /category/my-category/ to /my-category/. Nested paths such as /my-category/sub-category/ keep their hierarchy. The extension requires no code changes or edits to WordPress core files, and it includes 301 redirects from previous category URLs.

Which taxonomy paths it controls

URL Control can remove base slugs from tags, product categories, and other custom taxonomies. A conflict handler detects slug collisions and offers one-click resolution. The redirect manager provides utilities to manage redirects and view hit counts, while 404 tracking helps administrators review requests to missing URLs. A dashboard summarizes URL changes, redirects, and SEO status.

How to review URL changes

Preview mode lets administrators inspect changes before applying them. Rollback provides a way to reverse changes when adjustments are needed.

WPML and settings across sites

WPML Advanced features support translated slug management and hreflang auditing. Import and export tools let administrators save and restore settings across websites, which can help agencies repeat a configured URL approach on multiple WordPress installations.

Compatibility and setup

The plugin is described as compatible with WooCommerce, Elementor, SureCart, EasyCart, WPML, WordPress Multisite, and major sitemap plugins.
