WPTD: Top Level Categories

Today’s plugin highlight is Top Level Categories.

I use this plugin frequently because I don’t want to be forced to use something like /topic/cat1/ or /section/cat2/ or whatever it may be.

What does this plugin do? It strips the requirement to have /topic/ or /category/ or /section/ before the actual category name. So you can do example.com/cat1 or example.com/cat2/subcat1/ directly, creating cleaner permalinks (and shorter permalinks).
