Decategorizer

THIS PLUGIN IS NOW OBSOLETE,PLEASE SWITCH TO 'WP NO CATEGORY BASE' PLUGIN Go to http://skyphe.org/code/wordpress/decategorizer/ for the explanation, thanks! "Decategorizer" will remove the category base from your category links, and turn your category URLs from something like "http://yourdomain/category/news/" to "http://yourdomain/news/". Features: 301 redirection for old category links added automatically;\ works with most permalink structures (please e-mail me or leave a comment on plugin's site if it doesn't work for you); you can safely use variables in your category URLs (http://yourdomain/news/?var=val); sitemap plugins compatible; it works with multiple subcategory links (http://yourdomain/categoryname/subcategoryname/subsubcategoryname/) "Decategorizer" needs John Godley's 'Redirection' plugin to work and it will disable itself if Redirection is not installed. Redirection version 2.x. is recommended (Last tested with v2.1.9)

0.6.2.3

• minor code corrections
• informational messages are no longer echoed, but saved to a log file to prevent headers already sent errors on add/edit post/category

0.6.2

• may 14th 2009
• i might have broken a few sites with that 0.6 version, so i'll just apologize preemptively - sorry! :|
• version 0.6.2 is what version 0.6 was supposed to be
• big thanks goes to westi for explaining the event sequence of "update_option_permalink_structure" hook

0.6

• fixed a bunch of bugs
• plugin now correctly updates the redirections when permalink structure is updated, or deletes them when structure is empty
• plugin now deletes the data it has created when it is deactivated
• added support for custom strings in permalink structures, for example /articles/%postname%.html (thanks Dominic!).
• i'll be releasing another update soon - you'll be able to choose whether you want the trailing slash or not in your permalinks, and also some other yum things.

0.5.4.3

• february 20th 2009
• fixed the failing feed redirections for some permalink structures (thanks Ray!)
• better description and tags in readme for Sphinx :)

0.5.4.2

• february 17th 2009
• added exceptions if is_admin() or is_search()

0.5.4

• february 14th 2009
• had to change the redirection regexes again, to make it possible for urls like /categoryname/subcategoryname/?var=value (thanks T4L!)

0.5.3.2

• february 13th 2009
• changed redirection form from /cat_name/$ to ^/(optional subfolder install)/cat_name/$, so if the install is in a subfolder (eg. http://domain.com/wordpress), that subfolder is now included in all redirections, just to make it failsafe.
• fixed failing home pagination in some cases (/HOME/page/2/) when wordpress is installed in a subdirectory.

0.5.3.1

• february 12th 2009 fixed the randomly appearing slash at the end of category list when using 'wp_list_categories' function to print it

0.5.3

• february 10th 2009
• changed category redirections into regexes and added $ (end of string) at the end of expressions to make sure it parses category URLs only.
• also tested with wordpress MU 2.7 (and Redirection 2.1.7) and everything seems to work just fine :)

0.5.2

• october 31st 2008
• minor code changes

0.5.1

• october 30th 2008
• static homepage pagination
• static posts page pagination fixed
• 301 redirection for paginated category/tag archives with slugs including category_base

0.5

• october 26th 2008
• Plugin will now automatically disable itself if "Redirection" is not installed/activated.
• Added notifications on top of the admin screens.
• Added 301 redirection for old permalinks containing /category_base/ (thanks Utilaje!).
• Added support for permalinks without trailing slash (thanks PH!).
• Redirections are now added when the plugin is activated, and on a few other occasions (see bottom of plugin file for all the hooks).
• Plugin no longer runs on each and every pageload. Hooray :)

0.4

• plugin now checks if redirection tables exist (d'oh) before starting to work. It also checks whether adding redirections is actually needed (if you have no child categories, for example). -> removed in 0.5 for compatibility reasons ('/%postname%' permalinks).

0.3

• added automatic creation of redirection rules. PLEASE NOTE: Although I've been testing the plugin for the past two hours, do try it at home first. REMINDER TO SELF: addslashes(), INSERT, save your sanity...

0.2.1

• instead of setting back category_base to its default value, the current value is used, so one's permalinks don't get broken if they decide to deactivate the plugin. Sorry for that, current users :/ Please check your 'category_base' value.

0.2

• added the filter to 'category_link' as well. No more "/category/" in links when using "Google XML Sitemaps" and "Dagon Design Sitemap Generator" plugins :)
