描述
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.

安装
- Upload the plugin files to
/wp-content/plugins/remove-taxonomy-url/, or install it through the WordPress plugins screen. - Activate the plugin via the Plugins screen.
- Visit Settings Remove Taxonomy URL and pick the taxonomies you want stripped from URLs.
- Save Settings Permalinks twice to flush rewrite rules.
常见问题
-
I am facing a 404 error page after saving plugin settings?
-
Save your permalinks twice at Dashboard Settings Permalinks. WordPress regenerates rewrite rules on the second save.
-
Will my old taxonomy URLs return a 404 after enabling this plugin?
-
Enable the 301 redirect old URLs option in Settings Remove Taxonomy URL. Old
/taxonomy/term/URLs will redirect to the new/term/so search engines and bookmarks keep working. -
Does it work with nested / hierarchical taxonomies?
-
Yes — enable the Hierarchical term URLs option in 3.0. Nested terms (e.g.
rock/punk) resolve correctly. -
What happens if a term slug collides with a page or post slug?
-
Enable Conflict detection on save (default ON). You’ll see a warning when a colliding slug is detected. The Health Check tab can audit every selected taxonomy at once.
-
Does this plugin send any telemetry or tracking?
-
No. No analytics, no remote calls, no tracking.

Thank you so much for this plugin!
It works just fine and it should have a higher rating.

更新日志
3.1.0
- New: Hierarchical term URLs now actually resolve. Child terms use their full parent path (/parent/child/) at any depth, backed by explicit rewrite rules; the old flat /child/ URL 301-redirects to the nested one. Previously, turning this option on made child terms 404.
- New: Health Check “Test all term URLs” — requests a sample of your term URLs over a loopback and reports which resolve (200) or fail (404). Catches broken term URLs from any cause (hierarchy, stale permalinks, collisions). Falls back to an internal check if loopback is blocked.
- New: Health Check shows current hierarchy status (on/off, child-URL shape, child-term count).
- Improved: every setting now has a plain-language description explaining what it does and when to use it.
- Improved: settings page shows the plugin version and when permalinks were last flushed; saving settings re-flushes automatically.
- Improved: enabling Hierarchical term URLs shows how many child-term URLs will change.
3.0.1
- Fix: settings checkboxes no longer reset to unchecked after Save. Sanitize now stores values in the format expected by the rendering callbacks (slug=>slug array for the taxonomy multicheck; ‘on’/” string for feature flags).
- Fix: hidden companion checkbox field’s literal ‘off’ string is no longer treated as “enabled” by the sanitize callback. Feature flags now only enable when explicitly ‘on’.
- Migration: existing 3.0.0 installs are normalized from int 0/1 + sequential post_types into the new format automatically on first 3.0.1 load — no user action required.
- Tested up to: 7.0.
3.0.0
- New: 301 redirect from old /taxonomy/term/ to new /term/ (optional, off by default).
- New: pagination support for taxonomies with their base slug removed.
- New: hierarchical term URLs — multi-level parent paths resolve correctly.
- New: slug-collision detector with on-demand Health Check audit.
- Improved: term-link rewriting hardened against parent-path over-matching.
- Improved: orphan/circular term parent chains no longer cause infinite loops.
- Fix: settings now have a sanitize callback (Plugin Standards section 6).
- Fix: settings page registration moved from admin_menu to admin_init.
- Fix: uninstall now removes all plugin options and transients (Plugin Standards section 13).
- Compatibility: tested with PHP 7.4 through 8.3.
