(*sigh of relief*) I’m glad it works for you, Utilaje, thank you for testing it :)

Let me know if you run into some problems or if something doesn’t work as expected.

I’ll push this version to WordPress repository tomorrow, if no one reports any errors.

Just tested the latest version on both blogs!
Everything it’s working great on both blogs including the 301 redirections for the old slugs.
This looks awesome!
Will be using this from now on.

Thanks!

==> Decategorizer v0.5.1

Utilaje, this version should fix all of what you’ve described above.

Overwrite v0.5 files, deactivate and then re-activate the plugin.

Fingers crossed :)

Thank you so much for your input, Utilaje, I’ll check it out when I get home from work.

I obviously forgot to take care of a) homepage pagination and b) 301 redirection for paginated category/tag archives with slugs including category_base.

Now another few details (sorry for writing more posts but I try to give all the info that you might need)

For the blog with a static page as home page, I’m using “.html” at the end of the permalink structure (/%category%/%postname%.html) for posts, and here it’s redirecting the old slugs (with category_base text in permalinks) for the second page, third page and so on… for categories and tags…

For the second blog without a static page as home page I’m using this permalink structure: /%category%/%postname%/ and it’s not redirecting the old slugs (with category_base text in permalinks) for the second page, third page and so on… for categories and tags

OK,
Just tested on another blog without a static page for home.
Everything it’s working fine. Pagination for home page, category and tags (these are the sections where I tested it)

The only thing that I can say it’s that the old slugs (with category_base text in permalinks) for the second page, third page and so on… for categories and tags are still not redirected.

And for my example when a blog uses a static page as home page what do I need to modify to make it work. Or is it possible to work on such blogs?

Hi aesqe,
Just tested the new version of the plugin. I t works for categories and tags with pagination but not for post page. I’m not very shore if it’s not working for the posts page in general but in my case I’m using a static page as home page. If you want you can take a look on how it’s working on my “test” blog…
http://www.caututilaje.ro/utilaje/ - here it is the posts page (as I said before I’m using a static page as home page). When I click “Older Entries” I get a 404.

Anyway great job doing the redirection of the old slugs without getting into a loop. Because this was the problem (at least) for me when I wanted to redirect the old slugs with Urban Giraffe’s “Redirection” plugin.

I’ll try it on another blog without a static page as home page - I hope that it can not do any damage to a blog…
And if it’s not working then I will only delete “Decategorizer” group from Urban Giraffe’s “Redirection” plugin and reinstall the old version of Decategorizer.

I’ll keep you up on how the test worked.

no, you don’t have to do anything after you re-activate the plugin, it should all be setup automatically :)
