Libre Breadcrumb Permalinks

Beskrywing

By default, WordPress adds a base prefix to taxonomy URLs — /category/, /tag/, or any custom taxonomy base. This plugin removes those prefixes and replaces them with breadcrumb-style paths built directly from the term hierarchy, giving clean, readable URLs that reflect the content structure:

/parent-term/child-term/post-slug/

For custom post types associated with a taxonomy, the full term path is used as the permalink base. For non-hierarchical taxonomies, only the term slug is used.

It supports:

  • Hierarchical and non-hierarchical taxonomies
  • Custom post type permalinks built from associated taxonomy term paths
  • Automatic detection of public taxonomies (including category and post_tag) and CPTs
  • Configuration via filter for fine-grained control

The plugin works at the permalink and rewrite layer and does not modify stored slugs or post content.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/
  2. Activate the plugin

The plugin works out of the box and has no administration interface. For custom configuration, use the lbp_config filter (see FAQ).

Kwel-vrae

Does it create database tables or store plugin data?

No. The plugin only generates rewrite rules and filters URLs. Nothing is stored beyond WordPress’s own rewrite rules cache.

Can I choose which taxonomies and CPTs are affected?

Yes, via the lbp_config filter. Plain values declare a taxonomy whose base will be stripped. String keys declare a CPT => taxonomy association — the taxonomy base is also stripped, and the CPT permalinks are built from the term path.

add_filter( 'lbp_config', function() {
    return [
        'category',                 // strip base from this taxonomy
        'post_tag',                 // strip base from this taxonomy
        'my_cpt' => 'my_taxonomy',  // strip base + build CPT permalinks from term path
    ];
} );

Without this filter, the plugin auto-detects all public custom taxonomies, including category and post_tag, and CPTs.
