Hey I was wondering if it's possible to remove /product-category/ from the URL.

e.g. domain.com/shop/category/

Cheers, Alex

    Yes it is. You will need a third party slug remover, or change your
    permalinks to something like: /%postname%/

    I've tried the no category base plugin and changing the permalink structure to /%postname%/. No love though... /product-category/ remains in the URL.

    Try a plugin, elsewhere on the forum @ivica used one. I'll go look for
    one for you.

    Hm, Yoast WordPress SEO has one fantastic function in software/Permalink
    Settings:
    Strip the category base (usually /category/) from the category URL.
    But it is not functioning for Jigoshop plugin :-(

    And I don't see an alternative to this option in Jigoshop plugin itself...

    Yeah, removing wordpress's /category/ base isn't much of a problem. Plenty of simple plugins around that do the trick.
    But unfortunately they do not remove the Jigo /product-category/ base.

    hi there,

    did you ever find a solution to this? i know it can be changed (line 54 of jigoshop_taxonomy.php) but I too want it completely removed.

    Maybe this plugin can help you in this?

    I found a way to do this:

    1. In the JigoShop "Pages" tab, under "Permalinks", set "Prepend shop categories / tags with base page" to "No" and set the other 2 options to "Yes".

    2. In the same section, set the Product Category Slug to whatever your catalog (shop) base page slug is.

    The result is that the product-category slug is still displayed in the url but, since it is the same as the base shop slug (which isn't included on category pages), it appears to go away.

    The features include:

       from urls.
