# Plugin not working, 404 error

 * Hi there,
    I have installed the plugin and links seem to be ok, the taxonomy 
   base is removed when editing a custom taxonomy and clicking on “view”, however
   the URL give us a 404 error. I have flushed the permalinks and I have tried to
   remove some other plugins we have installed, such ‘Custom Post Type Permalinks’
   or ‘Redirect’, but no luck.
 * Any ideas why the plugin is not working?
    Thanks in advance.

 * Is WordPress installed as a network?

 * Thanks for your answer Alexandru.
    No, our WordPress is a single installation.
   The rewrite options defining the taxonomy are as follows:
 * `'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'publications', 'with_front' => false, 'hierarchical'
   => true),`
 * Hope it helps to find the error.

 * Can’t replicate using your rewrite settings.
    If you want me to look further 
   I need more information, email me at alexvornoffice @ gmail . com

 * @ Alexandru
 * Tried it on one of my sites and it worked like a charm. But planning to put it
   in a network.
 * Does the plugin support network installation?

 * [@couponminister](https://wordpress.org/support/users/couponminister/) no because
   of **blog** slug.
    So if site will be site.com/blog the permalinks will be broken
   for your taxonomies…

 * In my case – WordPress is installed as network.
 * I have 3 custom taxonomy which i have created from “Custom Post Type UI” Plugin.
   Which is rewrite rule.
 * Now How to proceed with this ?
