    Ah, good catch. I changed ‘people’ to ‘product’ and it seems to still work, so lucky for me I guess. Here is the revised code snippet for anyone else looking to reference:

    <?php
/*
 * Replace Taxonomy slug with Post Type slug in url
 */
 function rewrite_product_category() {
     // get the arguments of the already-registered taxonomy
     $product_category_args = get_taxonomy( 'product_category' ); // returns an object

     // make changes to the args
     // in this example there are three changes
     // again, note that it's an object
     $product_category_args->show_admin_column = true;
     $product_category_args->rewrite['slug'] = 'products';
     $product_category_args->rewrite['with_front'] = false;

     // re-register the taxonomy
     register_taxonomy( 'product_category', 'product', (array) $product_category_args );
 }
 // hook it up to 11 so that it overrides the original register_taxonomy function
 add_action( 'init', 'rewrite_product_category', 11 );

    Thanks again for your assistance

    Thanks for the reply. I found a way to make the taxonomy rewrite work without killing the single post view: implemented the taxonomy rewrite as a separate mu-plugin instead of doing it through CPTUI. Not sure if it’s the order of the rewrites – between the taxonomy and the custom post types – that was causing the conflict, or what. For other people who face this issue, here is the code I used (pasted into a separate file called taxonomy-rewrites.php, and uploaded to mu-plugins directory):

     function rewrite_product_category() {
     // get the arguments of the already-registered taxonomy
     $product_category_args = get_taxonomy( 'product_category' ); // returns an object

     // make changes to the args
     // in this example there are three changes
     // again, note that it's an object
     $product_category_args->show_admin_column = true;
     $product_category_args->rewrite['slug'] = 'products';
     $product_category_args->rewrite['with_front'] = false;

     // re-register the taxonomy
     register_taxonomy( 'product_category', 'people', (array) $product_category_args );
 }
 // hook it up to 11 so that it overrides the original register_taxonomy function
 add_action( 'init', 'rewrite_product_category', 11 );
