Taxonomy terms page permalink - how to change it?

Form the docs, I know that Much like regular pages, taxonomy list permalinks are configurable, but taxonomy term page permalinks are not. …which is in my opinion and without the intention to offend anyone, a bit useless this way. Why would you have for example a custom taxonomy list url if the term page cannot be changed so the two cannot be the same (e.g. /autor/ for the term page and /autor/goethe as the taxonomy list). I have also found this: It suggests some changes to the Go code. Is…

Hi,

I have mine setup like this:

[taxonomies]
channel = "channels"
category = "categories"
tag = "tags"

[permalinks]
categories = "/cat/:slug/"
tags = "/tag/:slug/"
channels = "/channels/:slug/"

My folder hierarchy:

/blog/{lang}/tags/{term}/_index.md
/blog/{lang}/categories/{term}/_index.md
/blog/{lang}/channels/{term}/_index.md

Then in the _index.md file:

+++
title = "Public Domain"
aliases = ["/tag/public-domain"]
url = "tag/publicdomain"
translationKey = "tag-public-domain"
+++

+++
title = "공개 도메인"
aliases = ["/ko/tag/public-domain", "/ko/tag/publicdomain"]
#url = "tag/publicdomain"
translationKey = "tag-public-domain"
+++

So I think you need to check your folder structure and add an _index.md file, something like: /blog/tacgia/{term}/_index.md. Using your example, it would be: /blog/tacgia/cookiemonster/_index.md.

Then in your _index.md file:

+++
title = "The Cookie Monster"
#aliases = [""]
url = "tac-gia/the-cookie-monster"
#translationKey = ""
+++

If I may, you can keep the “plural” intact to make things unified in your config, like so:

[taxonomies]
author = 'authors'

[permalinks]
authors = '/tac-gia/:slug/'

If you do the above, then your folder structure should be: /blog/authors/{term}/_index.md.

Lastly, but not the least, do not use hyphens, spaces, underscores, in your taxonomy folders. Condense it into one word and just add an _index.md file per term to manipulate the URL of your terms.

Then in your frontmatter of your post/article, you reference it as that onewordterm. For example:

+++
authors = ["cookiemonster"]
+++

See if it works.

P.s. I’m not sure if it’s hackish but it works for what I need: displaying terms in different languages and changing the taxonomy URL (instead of categories, it’s simply /cat/ by declaring url param in _index.md file for each term). The only catch, I have to add an _index.md file to each term.

I hope it helps.
