<p>With this plugin, administrators can change the default author base in the registered users profile url, and the author slug of each user.<br />
Changing an author slug is a good thing for security (if your login is “This Is Me”, your slug will be “this-is-me”, a bit easy to guess).<br />
The plugin adds 2 fields for this purpose, one in permalinks settings, the other in a user profile.</p>
<ul>
<li>Default: <em>example.com/author_base/author_nicename/</em></li>
<li>Customized: <em>example.com/jedi/obiwan/</em></li>
</ul>
<h4>How to edit the slugs</h4>
<ul>
<li>Go to <em>Settings</em> > <em>Permalinks</em> to edit the author base: “author” => “jedi”</li>
<li>Go to <em>Users</em> > <em>“Any user profile”</em> to edit the user slug: “agent-smith” => “obiwan”</li>
</ul>

<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/").
