How to remove category from wordpress url?

I am new to wordpress so i am facing a problem in removing /category/ from wordpress URL

http://domain/category/category-name 

So i would like to know how to remove /category/ from the url. I have tried various solutions like

Go to Settings >> Permalinks and select Custom and enter: /%category%/%postname%/
Next set your Category Base to /

But even after doing this i am not able to remove the /category/ from the URL.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

There is a plugin for that called WP No Category Base. As the name suggests this plugin will completely remove the mandatory ‘Category Base’ from your category permalinks ( e.g. myblog.com/category/my-category/ to myblog.com/my-category/ ).
