Changing custom post and custom taxonomies to root permalinks WordPress
- SOLVED
I`ve created a custom post type contribute with permalink structure as follows: http://example.com/contribute/post-name/
and two custom taxonomies departments and categories with permalink structure http://example.com/departments/department-name/
http://example.com/categories/category-name/
Is it possible to make all urls reside one level higher and how?
http://example.com/post-name/
http://example.com/department-name/
http://example.com/category-name/
