How do I create SEO friendly links with SuperAdsenseTemplates?

[scorpio]

Hi ,
I have searched the forum but unable to find a solution to this permalink problem.

I have installed my first SuperAdsenseTheme on this blog http://www.mi-zune.com/category/zune-news/, and have change my permalink structure to /%category%/%postname%.html and left the Category base empty (default)
"Zune-News" is the category but as you can see the word "category" is being added before the category name.

I have tried all combination of permalink/category base settings but none of them give me links in the way I want them to appear i.e. (http://www.mi-zune.com/zune-news/)

I have been using another wordpress themeing system and it allowed links to appear in the format I required. (checkout the URL http://www.mybeautifulipod.com/ipod-tips)
I would really like to purchase more easywordpress templates but only if I can get this permalink feature working, I suspect some sort of additional coding is required in the templates to make it work, any ideas?

Hi Scorpio,

This command: http://www.mi-zune.com/category/zune-news/ is going to list all the post from the posts that lable as zune-news category. So, you shouldnt be worry on this.

Also, your settings on that is correct, dont need to change any more.

If you are settle with this answer, you can purchase more themes from the link here. If not, please share your concerns why you don't like the current one.

Thank you.

To get rid of the /category/ when viewing a category archive you need to make a change in the rewrite.php file in your wp-includes folder

fire up your text editor and find this code:
if (empty($this->category_base))
$this->category_structure = $this->front . 'category/';

and change it to this:

if (empty($this->category_base))
$this->category_structure = $this->front . '';

You'll have to make this change everytime you update to a new version of wordpress.

Hope that helps.

As far as I know, if you're using a normal theme in which the files are installed only to the wp-content/themes folder the word "category" will appear. The exception is if your theme also modifies other core WP files like what www.ProWordpress.com does.

Eiter way, the suggestion by aaronjj should work. Do give it a try

You have one more thing you didnt solve out. That's is your .HTACESS file is not configure properly. Try to refer to the FAQ list in "How-To & Troubleshooting" Forum for the solution.

After this, you should be able to solve the problem.
