Remove url parameter using wordpress

Question

how can I remove a parameter from a URL in wordpress? for example if I have the following URL: http://domain.com/?cat=4&paged=2&order=DESC How can I remove paged from it?

Answer 1

You should use pretty permalink. Please read this docs from WordPress Codex for full information.

Answer 2

Using remove_query_arg() to remove query string from the URL.

For example, to remove the paged query string from the current page URL:

remove_query_arg('paged', false); //FALSE, means to use the current URL

If you have specific URL:

remove_query_arg('paged', 'http://domain.com/?cat=4&paged=2&order=DESC');

Or if you have multiple query string and you wanted to remove them:

$paramaters = array('cat', 'paged', 'order');
remove_query_arg($paramaters, false); //FALSE, means to use the current URL
