Features
The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.
- 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…
- Health Check tab — run a full audit of all selected taxonomies on demand
