# remove taxonomy base

 * Hello World!
 * I am using custom taxonomies with WordPress 3.0.1
 * I am wondering if anyone knows how to remove the taxonomy base from the URL?
 * I have seen plugins that do it for categories and tags, but not for custom taxonomies.
 * For example, I have a custom taxonomy called ‘cities’. I would like my URL structure
   to be [http://mydomain.com/newyork](http://mydomain.com/newyork) instead of [http://mydomain.com/cities/newyork](http://mydomain.com/cities/newyork)
 * Is there a function or something I can use?

 * I would like to know the answer to this question, I’ve tried plugins & redirects
   but none worked.
