FV Top Level Categories
By FolioVision
Description
This is a fix of Top Level Category plugin for WordPress 3.1 and further versions. Its purpose is to provide the same behavior as the original plugin, but in new WordPress versions.
The Top Level Categories plugin allows you to remove the prefix before the URL to your category page. For example, instead of http://foliovision.com/category/work, you can use http://foliovision.com/work for the address of 'work' category. WordPress doesn't allow you to have a blank prefix for categories, this plugin works around that restriction.
This plugin works also if you have a permalink structure like %postname% or %category%/%postname% - this wasn't possible in the original version. However, this feature might not work properly for child categories at this point. Test carefully!
Other Notable Features
Here are a few other notable features of this free FV Top Level Categories plugin.
FAQ
We recommend that you use the Redirection plugin and add your old an new category links, or use a Regex redirection rule. Make sure you change Tools -> Redirection -> Options -> URL Monitoring to “Don’t monitor”, as there is a bug in that feature (also in latest current version 2.2.5) – not related to FV Top Level Categories.
