Comments on: How to Change the Category Base Prefix in WordPress http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-change-the-category-base-prefix-in-wordpress/ Beginner's Guide for WordPress Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:04:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: gnuboss http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-change-the-category-base-prefix-in-wordpress/comment-page-1/#comment-120880 gnuboss Fri, 10 Jun 2011 22:09:02 +0000 http://www.wpbeginner.com/?p=1224#comment-120880 Thanks for the info, this is a quick and simple, although often overlooked way to sort the category and tag base issues out.. To entirely remove the Category base I used to use a plugin called WP No Category Base which worked well, but can cause problems when you have a page and category with the same name - E.g. Page = Hosting (domain.com/hosting/) and a Category = Hosting (domain.com/hosting/) - but using .html suffix may help -- but there are bound to be implications.

Otherwise, search engines which have indexed your example.com/tags/some-tag page will get a 404 (not found) error when trying to access the page again. Some SEO plugins handle this case and give a 302 (redirect) status when you change a permalink, but I'm not sure about tag URLs.
