Although it can be hacked to do this, don’t. WordPress permalinks will conflict. It won’t know what ‘type’ of content its displaying without the base.
thanks for your reply
it makes sense, thanks.
Could you tell me at least how to change “listing-category” to “category”?
You can translate it with https://wordpress.org/plugins/say-what/, but again, that may conflict with post categories.
Not sure if it is any use to you now, but I was successful in using a filter for the category slug change.
// Change Category Slug
function change_category_slug ( $args ) {
$args['rewrite']['slug'] = _x( 'unique_category_name_here', 'Reset Your Permalinks After', 'job_manager' );
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'register_taxonomy_job_listing_category_args', 'change_category_slug' );
There is good documentation and customisation examples on the plugins website. Hope this helps!
