Removing CPT base in URL that includes a taxonomy returns 404 error

[samben28]

Hi,
I used this pluging to remove the base but it returns a page not found.

initial url:
http://www.mydomain/restaurants/chicago/mollys-dinner
where:
restaurants is CPT slug
chicago is taxonomy (city)

I would like to remove the base to have just:
http://www.mydomain/chicago/mollys-dinner

but i have a 404 error

Can you help?

Thanks

Hi,
how did you setup this URL?
Can you send me instructions how can I replicate your environment?
I mean … whether you use some CPT plugin or manually write code to create taxonomy and CPT, what is your Permalink settings, etc…

Hi,

I use CPT UI for creating custom post types.
I just use plugins, no writing code.

I have a Custom post type called “Restaurant” and a taxonomy called “City”.

I use this plugin “Custom Post Type Permalinks” to add the taxonomy to the permalink structure:
https://www.mywebsite/restaurant/%city%/%postname%/

Your plugin removes the base of the CPT and the new permalink becomes:
https://www.mywebsite/%city%/%postname%/

but this link doesn’t work anymore and return a 404 error and i want my URL to work this way.
(ex: https://www.mywebsite/chicago/mollys-dinner) and not (https://www.mywebsite/restaurant/chicago/mollys-dinner)

Thank you

Can you test this?
Download: https://files.kubiq.sk/remove-cpt-base.zip
Unzip it and replace /wp-content/plugins/remove-cpt-base/remove-cpt-base.php
Let me know, it should work I just tested it, so if you confirm it, then I will release new version 5.3 😉

Still nothing, same 404 problem.

[kubiq]

Are you using WPML or Polylang? Because I see there is problem with these plugins.
Try this second version: https://files.kubiq.sk/remove-cpt-base-v2.zip
