Taxonomy URL strips the base slug (<code>\/genre\/<\/code>, <code>\/topic\/<\/code>, etc.) from your custom taxonomy term URLs so visitors and search engines see clean, short

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.<\/li>\n<li>New: Health Check \"Test all term URLs\" \u2014 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.<\/li>\n<li>New: Health Check shows current hierarchy status (on\/off, child-URL shape, child-term count).<\/li>\n<li>Improved: every setting now has a plain-language description explaining what it does and when to use it.<\/li>\n<li>Improved: settings page shows the plugin version and when permalinks were last flushed; saving settings re-flushes automatically.<\/li>\n<li>Improved: enabling Hierarchical term URLs shows how many child-term URLs will change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>3.0.1<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fix: settings checkboxes no longer reset to unchecked after Save. Sanitize now stores values in the format expected by the rendering callbacks (slug=&gt;slug array for the taxonomy multicheck; 'on'\/'' string for feature flags).<\/li>\n<li>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'.<\/li>\n<li>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 \u2014 no user action required.<\/li>\n<li>Tested up to: 7.0.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>3.0.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>New: 301 redirect from old \/taxonomy\/term\/ to new \/term\/ (optional, off by default).<\/li>\n<li>New: pagination support for taxonomies with their base slug removed.<\/li>\n<li>New: hierarchical term URLs \u2014 multi-level parent paths resolve correctly.<\/li>\n<li>New: slug-collision detector with on-demand Health Check audit.<\/li>\n<li>Improved: term-link rewriting hardened against parent-path over-matching.<\/li>\n<li>Improved: orphan\/circular term parent chains no longer cause infinite loops.<\/li>\n<li>Fix: settings now have a sanitize callback (Plugin Standards section 6).<\/li>\n<li>Fix: settings page registration moved from admin_menu to admin_init.<\/li>\n<li>Fix: uninstall now removes all plugin options and transients (Plugin Standards section 13).<\/li>\n<li>Compatibility: tested with PHP 7.4 through 8.3.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.6<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Test up to WordPress 6.7.2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.5<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Test upto WordPress 6.4.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.4<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Test upto WordPress 5.9.1.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.2<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Test upto WordPress 5.6<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.1<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Test upto WordPress 5.4.1.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Initial Version.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Strip custom taxonomy slugs from URLs.
