    Hi,

    I need to change my website permalinks from domain/category/postname to domain/postname.

    I’ve been trying to write a Regular Expression (regex) to do this, but my knowlowdge is very low and couldnt succeed until now.

    Can anybody help me on this?

    Thanks in advance for your kind help.

    Regards
    A Jorge

    What regular expression have you created? Have you tested it with https://regex101.com ?

    Hi John,

    Based on the regex you present in your website that removes date, name, and category in a permalink ^/\d{4}/\d{2}/\d{2}/.*?/(.*), I have been struggling with ^/.*?/(.*) to try to remove category and subcategory (if exists) from domain/category/subcategory (if exists)/postname.

    I tryed with https://regex101.com, but couldnt find the solution. Can you please help on this?

    That pattern works in regex101 when I test it:
