If you would like to have a little more nice permalinks to your custom post types articles with custom permalinks – this plugin can help you with this. If the term has the same slug as the post type, then the taxonomy has the priority over the post type.
Now I will show some examples:
(Custom taxonomy:)
From:
site.com/taxonomy/cars
To:
site.com/cars
(Custom taxonomy with child taxonomies)
From:
site.com/taxonomy/cars/bmw
To:
site.com/cars/bmw
(Term slug is the same as the post type slug:)
From:
(Post Type:) site.com/cars/ (Term from Taxonomy:) site.com/taxonomy/cars/ (Subterm from Taxonomy:) site.com/taxonomy/cars/bmw
To:
(Post Type:) site.com/cars/ (will not show) (Term from Taxonomy:) site.com/cars (will show) (Subterm from Taxonomy:) site.com/cars/bmw (will show)
