Categories Taxonomy – Superfluous structure (/category/)
-
Scenario: You want blog & post permalink structure like this.
https://www.site.com/blog/
https://www.site.com/blog/a-category-name/
https://www.site.com/blog/a-category-name/a-post-title/To do this you set your “Custom structure” under settings -> permalinks to
“/blog/%category%/%postname%/”
You leave your Settings -> Optional -> “Category base” blank, and you will get the desired results above.
Issue: NAVxt adds superfluous /category/ permalink to link structure on single posts pages
On single posts ie. (www.site.com/blog/a-category-name/a-post-title/)
The breadcrumb CATEGORY link has an extra “/category/” string pre-pended to it, so the link to the category is output as follows
https://www.site.com/blog/category/a-category-name/
This is incorrect, based off your permalink settings, it should simply be.
https://www.site.com/blog/a-category-name/
I can’t be the only one to have noticed this?
Any chance of getting this fixed asap?

Since Breadcrumb NavXT gets all of its URLs from the WordPress API, this is something that WordPress does to all such URLs, Breadcrumb NavXT’s included. The category base setting in the WordPress Permalink settings is only used if you specify a value (blank values should cause WordPress to use the default /category/ as a base). Thus, the best way to change this, as you found, is to use a plugin that removes the category base from all URLs.
