Remove Taxonomy URL

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.
