To get rid of category you set your permalinks to /%category%/%postname%/ and then set the Category Base to period/dot.

*If you leave the category base blank it will display the wordpress default category.*

1. Go to Setting > Permalinks
2. Select Custom Structure
3. Add /%category%/%postname%/ after your domain
4. Change Category Base to period/dot.

Note that providing dot to Category base in settings is the must. As leaving it blank will use the default value. Visit a post after saving settings and check the URL, it won’t have the category base now. While this trick currently works, there’s no assurance that it will work in the future as well.
