Best category base killer (tag too)
by palmtek·5 years ago
I went through all the options. I refuse to use Yoast; can’t stand it. Many of the other category base removers break stuff or their plugin breaks completely at some point.
This one works well, set redirects, and allows the removal of the tag taxonomy if you please. Tags seem to be pointless as well.
Please keep this one alive.
Brilliant
