    Hi,

    Is there a best practise to change the slug of a taxonomy that is already in use?

    The reason I ask is that I have a page in the root of the website with the same slug. That results in 404 errors of the child pages. I can't change the page slug, so I need to change the taxonomy slug. I don't want to change the term slugs.

    The taxonomy does not require a public archive page. I'm not sure if that makes things easier?

    Hi,

    You can use this plugin to change the taxonomy slug and move all terms to the new one

    Thank you. Ok, so you suggest to create a new taxonomy, then switch from the old to the new taxonomy, and finally delete the old taxonomy.

    It looks like it worked. Thanks!
