Remove Taxonomy URL
v3.1.0 · by sungraizfaryad
Strip custom taxonomy slugs from URLs. Optional 301 redirects, hierarchical terms, pagination support, and slug-collision detection.
About this plugin
Remove Taxonomy URL strips the base slug (/genre/, /topic/, etc.) from your custom taxonomy term URLs so visitors and search engines see clean, short permalinks.
What 3.0 adds:
- 301 redirect old URLs — old
/taxonomy/term/URLs redirect permanently to the new/term/URL so SEO equity is preserved when you turn the plugin on. - Hierarchical term URLs — nested taxonomies resolve correctly.
/parent/child/reaches the child term instead of returning 404. - Pagination support —
/term/page/2/works after the base slug is removed, no more pagination 404s. - Slug-collision detection — warns you (without blocking the save) when a term slug clashes with a page, post, or another taxonomy’s term, so you don’t accidentally break a URL.
- Health Check tab — run a full audit of all selected taxonomies on demand.
All 3.0 features default to OFF on upgrade so your existing site behavior is preserved until you opt in.
