THIS PLUGIN IS NOW OBSOLETE,PLEASE SWITCH TO \n'WP NO CATEGORY BASE'<\/a> \nPLUGIN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Go to http:\/\/skyphe.org\/code\/wordpress\/decategorizer\/ for the \nexplanation, thanks!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\"Decategorizer\" will remove the category base from your category \nlinks, and turn your category URLs from something like \n\"http:\/\/yourdomain\/category\/news\/\" to \"http:\/\/yourdomain\/news\/\".<\/p>\n\n

Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

301 redirection for old category links added automatically;
\nworks with most permalink structures (please e-mail me or leave \na comment on plugin's site if it doesn't work for you); \nyou can safely use variables in your category URLs \n(http:\/\/yourdomain\/news\/?var=val); \nsitemap plugins compatible; \nit works with multiple subcategory links \n(http:\/\/yourdomain\/categoryname\/subcategoryname\/subsubcategoryname\/)<\/p>\n\n

\"Decategorizer\" needs John Godley's\n'Redirection'<\/a> \nplugin to work and it will disable itself if Redirection is \nnot installed.\nRedirection version 2.x. is recommended (Last tested with v2.1.9)<\/p>\n\n

More info<\/h3>\n\n

To see the end result before you decide to install, please \nvisit wordpress.skyphe.org<\/a> and \nbrowse around. You'll notice that no url contains \"category\" and still \neverything works just fine.<\/p>\n\n

I don't think I've ever written a readme before. Is it full of \nspelling and grammar errors? Too long? I suck at explaining how things \nwork? Drop me an e-mail if something's bugging you about this text :)<\/p>\n\n

Plans for the next version?<\/h3>\n\n

(modified on February 10th 2009 at 11:36PM)<\/p>\n\n

Make it a \"Redirection\" extending class - does that make any sense?\nProbably.<\/p>\n\n

Or maybe move from \"Redirection\" completely and just write the values\nto the .htaccess file?<\/p>\n\n

Leave a comment here (Wordpress forums) or on my site, or send me an \ne-mail if you would like to see something added to the plugin.<\/p>\n\n

Thanks for reading this :)<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Place the whole 'decategorizer' folder into your wordpress' \ninstallation folder, under 'wp-content\\plugins'.<\/li>\n
  2. Go to WordPress administration->plugins page and make sure that \nthe plugin's name (Decategorizer) is on the list, but do not \nactivate it just yet.<\/li>\n
  3. Install Urban Giraffe's Redirection plugin the same way, \nif you haven't already done so.<\/li>\n
  4. Activate 'Redirection' plugin.<\/li>\n
  5. If you haven't had Redirection installed and used before now,\ngo to Redirection plugin's options page so its database tables\ncan be created.<\/li>\n
  6. Go back to the plugin management page and activate Decategorizer.<\/li>\n
  7. You're done.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

                      • changed redirection form from \/cat_name\/$ to \n^\/(optional subfolder install)\/cat_name\/$, so if the install is in a \nsubfolder (eg. http:\/\/domain.com\/wordpress), that subfolder is now \nincluded in all redirections, just to make it failsafe.<\/li>\n

                                      • instead of setting back category_base to its default value, \nthe current value is used, so one's permalinks don't get broken if \nthey decide to deactivate the plugin.
