    Hello! I decided to get rid of the parent category. This is necessary in order to display images of the desired category, and not the parent category.

    How do I remove a parent category so that links to ads already published on the Internet remain working?

    You can read about permalink options here:
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/settings/permalinks/

    If you mean the %%category%% in the detail URL, you will find a guide to the settings to remove that at the link above.

    Hi,

    the only way to remove the parent category and not mess with all listings indexed by google is to use 301 redirects.

    This is not a GeoDirectory or WordPress thing, this is any kind of website management best practice.

    Thanks
