Description
If you would like to have a little more nice permalinks to your custom post types articles with custom permalinks – this plugin can help you with this.
If the term has the same slug as the post type, then the taxonomy has the priority over the post type.
Now I will show some examples:
(Custom taxonomy:)
From:
site.com/taxonomy/cars
To:
site.com/cars
(Custom taxonomy with child taxonomies)
From:
site.com/taxonomy/cars/bmw
To:
site.com/cars/bmw
(Term slug is the same as the post type slug:)
From:
(Post Type:) site.com/cars/
(Term from Taxonomy:) site.com/taxonomy/cars/
(Subterm from Taxonomy:) site.com/taxonomy/cars/bmw
To:
(Post Type:) site.com/cars/ (will not show)
(Term from Taxonomy:) site.com/cars (will show)
(Subterm from Taxonomy:) site.com/cars/bmw (will show)

- Why should I use this plugin?
-
Use this plugin if you want to get rid of a custom taxonomy base slug completely.
The normal behaviour of WordPress is to add ‘/taxonomy’ to your permalinks if you leave “taxonomy page” blank (ex: site.com/taxonomy/).
So your taxonomy links look like “site.com/taxonomy/my-taxonomy/”.
With this plugin your taxonomy links will look like “site.com/my-taxonomy/” (or “site.com/my-taxonomy/sub-taxonomy/” in case of child taxonomies). - Will it break any other plugins?
-
I don’t think so.
- Won’t this conflict with pages or post types?
-
Simply don’t have a page or a post type and category with the same slug.
Even if they do have the same slug it won’t break anything.
Priority will be for taxonomies. - Can you add a feature X?
-
Depends, if its useful enough and I have time for it.
