WP_Rewrite::set_category_base() WordPress Method

The WP_Rewrite::set_category_base() method allows you to set the base for your category permalinks. This can be useful if you want to change the way your categories are displayed in your permalinks. For example, if you want your category permalinks to be displayed as /category/cat-name/ instead of the default /?cat=ID, you would use this method to set the category base to /category/.

		if ( get_option( 'category_base' ) !== $category_base ) {
			update_option( 'category_base', $category_base );
			$this->init();
		}
	}
