Bravo! 🙂 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0d88e69cd5146d0a92994dbf3f629384454aa3c3a03cf59989acdfc672a5b258? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-1042/)󠁿 [Pat K](https://profiles.wordpress.org/blackcapdesign/) septembre 3, 2016 Installed – activated and it works.

Success! Works with the latest 4.5.2. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/95377293a87943ab05d9fa8628bab10b93b13dca63fe3bf1a02ccbe335db4dc3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-864/)󠁿 [radgh](https://profiles.wordpress.org/radgh/) septembre 3, 2016 I honestly doubt this has any impact on SEO, especially since it’s only for category archive pages. The meat of SEO is on the content pages. But regardless, this plugin works just fine and does what it says without an issue. The SEO side affects are likely just a placebo however. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/aefc783a292f1622d6e0e40c42a80e8722837e24eaf46abefc9bc2c282166238? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[nice reblogged](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-reblogged/)󠁿 [mark1230](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mark1230/) septembre 3, 2016 Really nice plugin http://wapkidclub.com/remove-category-wordpress-url.html [ Read all 10 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-remove-category-base/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “WP Remove Category Base” is open source software.
