   Solution 2:

   Although not updated for 2 years but a very flexible plugin. Simple install this plugin: WP No Category Base.

2. This should work, although not tested. Fill in the categoryID below and set your desired URL in wp_redirect().

   <?php
   $category_id = xx;
   $category_link = get_category_link( $category_id )
   wp_redirect( $category_link, 'http://www.website.com/category-slug' ); exit;
   ?>
   

   Remember by the way that wp_redirect() always should be followed by exit; (Source: Codex).
