  You could change your permalink settings to "/%postname%/" in Settings -> Pemalinks

    That's what I have as my permalink structure. It still shows up. The sample.com/event_type/conventions points to an archive type page with a list of posts under that custom taxonomy. Not sure if that info helps.

  To remove event_type from your permalink change your code to as follows:
  
  

  
  
  <?php
  
  
  
  add_action( 'init', 'build_taxonomies', 0 );
  
  
  
  function build_taxonomies() {  
  
  
  
    register_taxonomy( 'event_type', 'post', array( 'hierarchical' => true, 'label' => 'Event Type', 'query_var' => true, 'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'event_type', 'with_front' => false ) );
  
  
  
   }  ?>

  
  
  NOTE: You may possibly need to click save on the permalink page after making the necessary code change.
  
  
  Edit: I apologize. I left off the end parentheses after the array. This is the correct code:
  
  

  <?php
  
  
  
  add_action( 'init', 'build_taxonomies', 0 );
  
  
  
  function build_taxonomies() {
  
  
  
    register_taxonomy( 'event_type', 'post', array( 'hierarchical' => true, 'label' => 'Event Type', 'query_var' => true, 'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'event_type', 'with_front' => false )) );
  
  
  
   }  ?>

    Something about your code breaks the site, once I hit save it all goes to white screen and I have to ftp old version back in to fix it. So something's wrong.

  Mr. Viktor Nagornyy,
  
  I think you put this registering code to your default theme function. ( in functions.php ). So it changed your permalink structure. You should put it to your child theme functions. It'll register for your child theme and don't forget remove it from your default theme.
  
  Then change your permalinks structure to default, then save and again change to what you prefer.
  
  I think it'll help you.
  
  best regards,

    Hey,
    I'm not quiet sure what you mean by child theme. If you could elaborate.
    
    Thanks.

  Hi Viktor,
  here is the code that does what you need.
  
  add this line to your functions.php
  it can go right bellow build_taxonomies()
  
  

  require_once( TEMPLATEPATH . '/rewrite_rules_event_type.php');

  
  
  and save the following file as "rewrite_rules_event_type.php" in the same dir as functions.php
  http://wordpress.pastebin.com/SpxbmFgV
  
  it will do the job.
  I tested it locally.
  
  after running for the first time, and having it to work,
  comment this line
  

  $flush_rules = TRUE;

  
  to improve perfomance (that avoids having to update the rewrite rules to the database)
  
  let me know if you need anything else.

    I wish this would be that easy. For some reason it's not working. Does it matter how my taxonomy.php is structured?
    
    This is what my functions.php looks like in case something in there matters. The new file is in the theme's dir. I even resaved permalinks to be certain.
    
    

    <?php
    
    define("INC", TEMPLATEPATH . "/functions");

    /*Function to hide child category display if empty*/
    
    function empty_dont_display_it($content) {
    
      if (!empty($content)) {
    
        $content = str_ireplace('<li>' .__( "No categories" ). '</li>', "", $content);
    
      }
    
      return $content;
    
    }
    
    add_filter('wp_list_categories','empty_dont_display_it');

    function post_is_in_descendant_category( $cats, $_post = null )
    
    {
    
        foreach ( (array) $cats as $cat ) {
    
            $descendants = get_term_children( (int) $cat, 'category');
    
            if ( $descendants && in_category( $descendants, $_post ) )

    you should move

    function build_taxonomies() {

    to your functions.php
    
    located in your theme directory
    that is wp-content/themes/YOUR_THEME_FOLDER/

    Viktor Nagornyy says:

    Hey,
    I think you misunderstood me. That's exactly where it is. I copy and pasted my functions.php code above.
    
    I was just simply asking about taxonomy.php, if the contents could break rewrite code.

    wjm says:

    oh.. sorry, i misread that, i thought you pasted the contents of taxonomy.php
    
    the first answer to your question is no, as the template loads after the rewrite rule is resolved.
    can i have access to your server. it may be easier.
    msg me with the wordpress and ftp info if you want to.
    
    what happens when you enter
    sample.com/conventions/
    
    what is the url of your site?

  • 07/28/10 11:18am
    
    Viktor Nagornyy says:

    Hmmmm thats interesting.
    both URLs working, but the menu link keeps it as /event_type/convention
    I'm using new nav_menu feature. Is there a way to make sure that /event_type/convention no longer works? It's going to be SEO problem being double content.
    
    If you still need to look at it, I can provide you with my WP login to my test blog where I'm testing this, so you can use Editor to look at files.
    
    Thanks.

    I found the best way to deal with this.
    forget about rewrite_rules_event_type.php
    
    all the code you need is:
    

    
    
    add_action( 'init', 'build_taxonomies', 0 );
    
    function build_taxonomies() {  
    
    	register_taxonomy( 
    
    		'event_type', 
    
    		'post', 
    
    		array( 
    
    			'hierarchical' => true, 
    
    			'label' => 'Event Type', 
    
    			'query_var' => true, 
    
    			'rewrite' => true,
    
    		)
    
    	);
    
    	global $wp_rewrite;
    
    	$wp_rewrite->extra_permastructs['event_type'] = array('%event_type%', EP_NONE);
    
    }
    
    

    
    
    
    there is a missing filter to alter the extra_permastructs, i am submitting a patch to wordpress trac.
    
    i have fixed it in your blog.
    you can check it.
