WordPress plugin
No Category Base Pro for WordPress URLs
No Category Base Pro removes WordPress’s standard /category/ prefix when activated, without code changes or edits to WordPress core files. A category path such as /category/my-category/ becomes /my-category/; nested paths such as /my-category/sub-category/ are supported. The add-on also includes 301 redirects from previous category URLs to their updated addresses.
Category paths without the base
No Category Base Pro removes WordPress’s standard /category/ prefix when activated, without code changes or edits to WordPress core files. A category path such as /category/my-category/ becomes /my-category/; nested paths such as /my-category/sub-category/ are supported. The add-on also includes 301 redirects from previous category URLs to their updated addresses.
Taxonomy controls and slug conflicts
Pro extends base removal to tags, product categories, and other custom taxonomies. Its conflict handler detects slug collisions that could make URLs overlap and offers one-click resolution.
The redirect manager delivers tools to manage redirects and view hit counts, while 404 tracking helps administrators review errors. A dashboard summarizes URL changes, redirects, and SEO status.
Review URL changes before applying them
Preview mode lets administrators inspect URL changes before applying them. Rollback provides a way to reverse changes if adjustments are needed.
WPML translations and options across sites
For multilingual installations, WPML Advanced capabilities support translated slug management and hreflang auditing. Import and export tools let administrators save and restore settings across sites, which can help repeat a configured URL approach across WordPress installations.

No Category Base Pro is described as compatible with WooCommerce, Elementor, SureCart, EasyCart, WPML, WordPress Multisite, and major sitemap plugins. Find its administration area under Settings > No Category Base. The settings area shows plugin status and includes an option to flush rewrite rules.
