# Redirection while using remove taxonomy base slug plugin

 * Firstly, the plugin is great and i have been using it wherever possible. Thanks
   for the great work.
 * I have two sites and the sites have following taxonomy structure.
 * site.com/stores/storename1
 * For my new website i used your plugin from day 1 and the url was changed to
 * MyNewSite.com/stores/ (Shows the default stores page with all the listings – 
   Required)
 * MyNewSite.com/stores/Store1 (Default) changed to MyNewSite.com/Store1 (works 
   and looks great.)
 * Now my _question is with respect to my old site_ which existed prior to the launch
   of this plugin or prior to knowing about your plugin.
 * Adding your plugin again works well and changes the links to the desired ones:
 * MyOldSite.com/stores/ and
    MyOldSite.com/Store1/ MyOldSite.com/Store2/ MyOldSite.
   com/Store3/
 * But the problem is that old urls are in google and i am facing issues in redirection.
 * redirecting everything like MyOldSite.com/stores/* to MyOldSite.com/* works for
   all the Store1, Store2… pages but it removes the MyOldSite.com/Store/ page also.
 * Can you help with how the redirection should be done to avoid 404 errors, when
   activating your plugin?
 * (My Website url – [http://www.couponminister.in/](http://www.couponminister.in/))

 * So you want the page myoldsite.com/stores/store1 to redirect to myoldsite.com/
   store1 ?

 * Yes, myoldsite.com/stores/store1 should to redirect to myoldsite.com/store1; 
   but MyOldSite.com/stores/ should not redirect to MyOldSite.com/. MyOldSite.com/
   stores/ base page should remain as is.

 * Ok, but this feature is not in the plugin right now, maybe I will add this into
   a future version.
 * And I need to know also, MyOldSite.com/**stores**/ – what is it?
    Taxonomy base
   by default is empty, or it’s a page or a post type slug/base

 * The /stores/ is a custom taxonomy which has been added. For more details you 
   may refer to the demo from the seller ([http://demos.appthemes.com/?theme=clipper-admin](http://demos.appthemes.com/?theme=clipper-admin))
 * Please see details with my site links below.
 * My old site url is [http://www.couponminister.in/](http://www.couponminister.in/)(
   Your plugin not activated)
 * [http://www.couponminister.in/stores/](http://www.couponminister.in/stores/) 
   has a listing of all the stores and the link on each of the store page has [http://www.couponminister.in/stores/babyoye/](http://www.couponminister.in/stores/babyoye/)
   url structure.
 * On my test site (CouponMini.com) with your plugin activated. The url’s are couponmini.
   com/stores/ for the listing of all the stores and couponmini.com/babyoye/.
 * Even after activating your plugin on the test site, the /stores/ url remains 
   alive (which is desired).
 * I need help to now make use of your plugin but how should i manage my redirections
   to ensure that no 404 errors arise.

 * I see that [http://www.couponminister.in/stores/](http://www.couponminister.in/stores/)
   is a page template

 * So, will you be able to suggest how to handle the redirection. Since, the plugin
   doesn’t modify a page template, the final structure works. But how should i handle
   the redirection to ensure [http://www.couponminister.in/stores/](http://www.couponminister.in/stores/)
   remains whereas all the other store pages like [http://www.couponminister.in/stores/babyoye/](http://www.couponminister.in/stores/babyoye/)
   are redirected to couponminister.in/babyoye/

 * I don’t think I will add this because it can come into in a conflict with other
   pages or custom post type posts.
 * Example **IF** you have a post type “Stores” (couponminister.in/stores) with “
   Babyoye” (couponminister.in/stores/babyoye/) post, it will redirect to couponminister.
   in/babyoye/ – that’s not good.
 * I think such redirection feature will fit in another plugin, I don’t know if 
   there is such plugin, sorry.
