Customize Category URL Structure surerank_remove_category_base

Hook: surerank_remove_category_base

Description: This filter allows you to clean up your category archive URLs by removing the default /category/ base. It’s useful for creating shorter, more SEO-friendly URLs.

Source: inc/frontend/archives.php

Usage: Enable this filter to strip the /category/ slug from all category archive URLs on the frontend.

Example:

// Remove the default 'category' base from category URLs using SureRank.
add_filter( 'surerank_remove_category_base', '__return_true' );

// Remove the default 'category' base from category URLs using SureRank.
add_filter( 'surerank_remove_category_base', '__return_true' );

You can add the example code to your child theme’s functions.php file or use a plugin like Code Snippets to safely insert custom code. Using a code snippet plugin is recommended for easier management and to ensure the code remains active even if you switch themes.
