BACK TO DIRECTORY
By default, WordPress adds a base prefix to taxonomy URLs — /category/, /tag/, or any custom taxonomy base. This plugin removes those prefixes and replaces them with breadcrumb-style paths built directly from the term hierarchy, giving clean, readable URLs that reflect the content structure:
/parent-term/child-term/post-slug/
For custom post types associated with a taxonomy, the full term path is used as the permalink base. For non-hierarchical taxonomies, only the term slug is used.
It supports:
- Hierarchical and non-hierarchical taxonomies
- Custom post type permalinks built from associated taxonomy term paths
- Automatic detection of public taxonomies (including
categoryandpost_tag) and CPTs - Configuration via filter for fine-grained control
The plugin works at the permalink and rewrite layer and does not modify stored slugs or post content.
