Bjorn is absolutely awesome. His videos are hands down absolutely THE BEST WordPress instructional videos on CZcams.

Very true I have just discovered his content

[@techbyfinne]

Thank you!! I’ve been looking for this for ages :D I’ve been told that it could not be done!

[@wplearninglab]

Nice! Doing things "that can't be done" is always fun :)

@@wplearninglab Hey, found a problem, when I use this, pagination in the query block are not working? Get a page not found when I click on page 2? If I use normal permalinks, it works?

[@visualmodo]

Truly good work! =DD

[@JimKernix]

Thanks, I've always thought that was stupid but I never bothered looking into how to remove it

[@stuart_gill]

Great timing. I was wondering if this works with multiple CPTs?

[@IonelColtea]

Great video. How do I remove an archive from a page?

[@sarabacic4991]

Hi, this works great for category pages, but I'm getting a Page not found for subcategories. Do you know how to fix this problem? Thanks

[@Kleinepaps]

But this screws up the category URLs in the sitemap if SEO is something you care about, which you should.

[@ChuckReynolds]

But then your post/article URLs have the category_base in them too now.
