## Beschreibung

Remove Taxonomy URL strips the base slug (`/genre/`, `/topic/`, etc.) from your 
custom taxonomy term URLs so visitors and search engines see clean, short permalinks.

**What 3.0 adds:**

 * **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 accidentally
   break a URL.
 * **Health Check tab** — run a full audit of all selected taxonomies on demand.

All 3.0 features default to OFF on upgrade so your existing site behavior is preserved
until you opt in.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/remove-taxonomy-url/`, or install
    it through the WordPress plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin via the **Plugins** screen.
 3. Visit **Settings  Remove Taxonomy URL** and pick the taxonomies you want stripped
    from URLs.
 4. Save **Settings  Permalinks** twice to flush rewrite rules.

## FAQ

### I am facing a 404 error page after saving plugin settings?

Save your permalinks twice at **Dashboard  Settings  Permalinks**. WordPress regenerates
rewrite rules on the second save.

### Will my old taxonomy URLs return a 404 after enabling this plugin?

Enable the **301 redirect old URLs** option in **Settings  Remove Taxonomy URL**.
Old `/taxonomy/term/` URLs will redirect to the new `/term/` so search engines and
bookmarks keep working.

### Does it work with nested / hierarchical taxonomies?

Yes — enable the **Hierarchical term URLs** option in 3.0. Nested terms (e.g. `rock/
punk`) resolve correctly.

### What happens if a term slug collides with a page or post slug?

Enable **Conflict detection on save** (default ON). You’ll see a warning when a 
colliding slug is detected. The Health Check tab can audit every selected taxonomy
at once.

### Does this plugin send any telemetry or tracking?

No. No analytics, no remote calls, no tracking.

Thank you so much for this plugin! It works just fine and it should have a higher
rating.

## Änderungsprotokoll

#### 3.1.0

 * New: Hierarchical term URLs now actually resolve. Child terms use their full 
   parent path (/parent/child/) at any depth, backed by explicit rewrite rules; 
   the old flat /child/ URL 301-redirects to the nested one. Previously, turning
   this option on made child terms 404.
 * New: Health Check „Test all term URLs“ — requests a sample of your term URLs 
   over a loopback and reports which resolve (200) or fail (404). Catches broken
   term URLs from any cause (hierarchy, stale permalinks, collisions). Falls back
   to an internal check if loopback is blocked.
 * New: Health Check shows current hierarchy status (on/off, child-URL shape, child-
   term count).
 * Improved: every setting now has a plain-language description explaining what 
   it does and when to use it.
 * Improved: settings page shows the plugin version and when permalinks were last
   flushed; saving settings re-flushes automatically.
 * Improved: enabling Hierarchical term URLs shows how many child-term URLs will
   change.

#### 3.0.1

 * Fix: settings checkboxes no longer reset to unchecked after Save. Sanitize now
   stores values in the format expected by the rendering callbacks (slug=>slug array
   for the taxonomy multicheck; ‚on’/“ string for feature flags).
 * Fix: hidden companion checkbox field’s literal ‚off‘ string is no longer treated
   as „enabled“ by the sanitize callback. Feature flags now only enable when explicitly‚
   on‘.
 * Migration: existing 3.0.0 installs are normalized from int 0/1 + sequential post_types
   into the new format automatically on first 3.0.1 load — no user action required.
 * Tested up to: 7.0.

#### 3.0.0

 * New: 301 redirect from old /taxonomy/term/ to new /term/ (optional, off by default).
 * New: pagination support for taxonomies with their base slug removed.
 * New: hierarchical term URLs — multi-level parent paths resolve correctly.
 * New: slug-collision detector with on-demand Health Check audit.
 * Improved: term-link rewriting hardened against parent-path over-matching.
 * Improved: orphan/circular term parent chains no longer cause infinite loops.
 * Fix: settings now have a sanitize callback (Plugin Standards section 6).
 * Fix: settings page registration moved from admin_menu to admin_init.
 * Fix: uninstall now removes all plugin options and transients (Plugin Standards
   section 13).
 * Compatibility: tested with PHP 7.4 through 8.3.

#### 1.0.6

 * Test up to WordPress 6.7.2

#### 1.0.5

 * Test upto WordPress 6.4.

#### 1.0.4

 * Test upto WordPress 5.9.1.

#### 1.0.2
