Is there a way to remove 'category' from the slug when viewing posts in a particular category in WordPress 3.1 without it breaking? My client is asking me to remove it, but it seems necessary - I get a Page Not Found error when using this plugin:

http://fortes.com/projects/wordpress/top-level-cats/

He also doesn't want to just change it to another word...very frustrating...

Thanks,

osu

I didn't test it myself, but maybe this tip could solve your problem:

If you would like yoursite.com/category/projects/projectname/ to appear as yoursite.com/projects/projectname/

Simply enter /. as the value for Category base in the permalink settings page.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-no-category-base/ This seems to be an up to date plugin for the same thing

remove category base is probably what you want to search for if exploring other options

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/ doing this and much more. Just disable metabox in edit pages, its working in stealth mode :)
