Rewrite category url.png

Hi support
Tell us what you are trying to do?
I'm building a new site and I'm using custom posttypes (named "Lifters" and "Manuals") and taxonomies (named "Lifters Categories" and "Manuals Categories")
When I'm creating a post in fx Lifters the URL will be "/manual/safe-lifting/" - but I would like it to be "/safe-lifting"
Is there any documentation that you are following?
I've been trying to read your support articles but with no success
Under "Options" under "Edit Taxonomy" I've found the field "Replace taxonomy slug with this" and I've used /%postname%/ to try and build a new URL - but that didn't help either. When I used /%postname%/ the page wasn't found.
Do you have any other ideas (and not an old plugin that hasn't been updated)
Kind regards
Kristen

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Toolset do not offer many options to customize the permalinks.

To modify the permalinks either you will have to add custom code or you can add plugin.

We suggest you should add custom permalink plugin to manage your permalinks as required. Here are few plugins that might help you in your case:

- https://wordpress.org/plugins/permalink-manager/
- https://wordpress.org/plugins/permalinks-customizer/

None of the suggested plugins did work but maybe it's a plugin issue.
