I have a category by the name "mycategory". The URL of the category is currently - http://mixerp.org/blog/blog/category/mycategory/
but I need to change that URL to - http://mixerp.org/blog/blog/mycategory/
I tried playing around with the permalink settings but unfortunately I was unable to solve my problem. Currently, I have set the permalink settings to "Day and name". Can anyone kindly help me on this ?
You should use a Custom Permalink if the other options aren't working. Make sure you delete the %category% part of the permalink, and this should solve your issue.
you can do this by change in .htaccess file, First backup your .htaccess file. Then, open it and append the following line:
RewriteRule ^category/(.+)$ http://mixerp.org/blog/blog/$1 [R=301,L]
Once saved, your categories pages will be displayed like this:
http://mixerp.org/blog/blog/mycategory/
But i will prefer the answer given by Ronan Murphy, which is easy and safe
