<p>Creates dropdown lists of non-hierarchical taxonomies (such as <code>post tags</code>) as an alternative to term (tag) clouds. Multiple widgets can be used, each with its own set of options.</p>
<p>Numerous formatting options are provided, including maximum numbers of terms, term order, truncating of term names, and more.</p>
<p>Using the <code>taxonomy_dropdown_widget()</code> function, users can generate dropdowns for use outside of the included widget.</p>
<p><strong>Only use version 2.2 or higher with WordPress 4.2 and later releases.</strong> WordPress 4.2 changed how taxonomy information is stored in the database, which directly impacts this plugin’s include/exclude term functionality.</p>
<p>This plugin was formerly known as the <code>Tag Dropdown Widget</code>. It was completely rewritten for version 2.0.</p>

<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/").
