<p>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.<br />
If the term has the same slug as the post type, then the taxonomy has the priority over the post type.</p>
<p>Now I will show some examples:</p>
<p>(Custom taxonomy:)</p>
<h4>From:</h4>
<p>site.com/taxonomy/cars</p>
<h4>To:</h4>
<p>site.com/cars</p>
<p>(Custom taxonomy with child taxonomies)</p>
<h4>From:</h4>
<p>site.com/taxonomy/cars/bmw</p>
<h4>To:</h4>
<p>site.com/cars/bmw</p>
<p>(Term slug is the same as the post type slug:)</p>
<h4>From:</h4>
<p>(Post Type:) site.com/cars/<br />
(Term from Taxonomy:) site.com/taxonomy/cars/<br />
(Subterm from Taxonomy:) site.com/taxonomy/cars/bmw</p>
<h4>To:</h4>
<p>(Post Type:) site.com/cars/ (will not show)<br />
(Term from Taxonomy:) site.com/cars (will show)<br />
(Subterm from Taxonomy:) site.com/cars/bmw (will show)</p>


Remove Taxonomy Base Slug

I needed to make categories and a custom taxonomy called "Industry" have no slug. But some other taxonomies needed to keep them. I wasn't sure if this would affect all taxonomies, but it has an option page to select them.
Simple enough, seems to work just fine!



Works, and lets you choose

the plugin has not been updated for a long time, but it still works fine. Thanks

Great

This plugin can remove specific taxonomy base slug from your permalinks (e.g. "/genre/fiction/" to "/fiction/").

It provides an interface to customize the htaccess file generated by WordPress but also its permalinks (author, category, archives, pagination and custom taxonomies). Have a look at the screenshot for a clearer idea of the available options.</p>

<h3>Known Issues</h3>
<p>I still haven’t tested this under <strong>WordPress multisite</strong>, issues have however been reported.</p>
<h3>Additional Credit</h3>
<p>Removal of the category base is based on iDope’s <strong>WP No Category Base</strong> but extended so that it works with category archives (ie.: <em>“http://example.com/my-category/2010/12”</em>).</p>
<p>Search redirection is based on Mark Jaquith’s <strong>Nice Search</strong> but extended so that it works with custom search base (ie.: <em>“http://example.com/search-base/search-term”</em>).</p>
<h3>Stable Versions</h3>
<p>For WordPress versions above 3.9 use the plugin version 3.4.</p>
<p>For WordPress versions above 3.4 use the plugin version 3.3.</p>
<p>For WordPress versions prior to 3.4 use the plugin version 2.7.2.1.</p>
