How to remove the “category” folder

I take it back. It was screwing up my permalinks to posts — though only intermittently. I think maybe when the rewrite rules were cached with versions before I commented out that code.

Anyway, it doesn’t work. I’m just going to create Pages that emulate category listings.

I noticed a duplicate content issue on my blog where domain.com/category/categoryname/ displays the same content as domain.com/categoryname/. In this particular case there are definite SEO implications as someone could simply link to both URLs enabling the engines to find them both.
