I have a wordpress site where the category base is stripped from the url.

Now, when a category has a certain slug that's similar to a post slug, the category is shown.

I would like to show the post instead. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Can you post the slugs that are causing the problem and explain the mechanism you used to strip the category from the URL? – s_ha_dum Dec 10 '12 at 16:31
example url: example.com/wordpress/cars where "cars" is both slug for a post and for a category. The mechanism I've used for stripping the category base is the same that is used in the WP No Category Base plugin. – bertkat Dec 10 '12 at 16:46

I think you can use the answer to this question by replacing page_rewrite_rules filter with post_rewrite_rules, making post rewrite rules to have the top most priority.

At first it seemed to work. Post are shown when they should. But now all categories disappeared, I can't get them to show up. Thanks in advance! – bertkat Dec 11 '12 at 13:00
@bertkat You mean, you have 404/not found error on categories? Did you try flushing the rewrite rules? – Parham Dec 11 '12 at 13:08
Yes Parham, I have 404 on all categories. Also tried flushing rewrite rules and also tried without stripping category base. – bertkat Dec 11 '12 at 13:42
