 * i want to remove the custom post slug
 * the URL of my custom taxonomy is
    [https://test.com/customtax-slug/term/](https://test.com/customtax-slug/term/)
 * but when i use this plugin and filter, my URL is
    [https://test.com/custompost-slug/customtax-slug/term/](https://test.com/custompost-slug/customtax-slug/term/)
 * i want to remove the “custompost-slug”
 * because there will exist 2 taxonomy archive pages
    1.[https://test.com/customtax-slug/term/](https://test.com/customtax-slug/term/)
   2.[https://test.com/custompost-slug/customtax-slug/term/](https://test.com/custompost-slug/customtax-slug/term/)
 * and those page show the same content, and could be a duplicate content penalty
   to google.
 * what can i do?

 * Hi Byron,
 * Due to the internal workings of WordPress Core and how BTF uses it it’s not possible
   to use the filtered pages without the post type slug in the URL.
 * I would however not be too alarmed about duplicate content as a post archive 
   often shows the same contents more or less.. imagine you have categories you 
   often use, visiting those archives would often result in almost the same content(
   posts listed).
 * If you do want to be sure, I would recommend either using a 301 redirect on the
   regular taxonomy archive url to the one with the post type slug (which would 
   also affect visitors) OR setting a canonical meta tag on the regular archive 
   pointing to the new url.
    Do note tho that you should not do this if you have
   more than one post type connected to your taxonomy. And in that case you wouldn’t
   have to worry about duplicate content at all since you’d gather different posts
   in that archive.
