If you are using category name in permalink for a post, it’s not a good practice, especially, if you have two or more categories per post. Solutions: Use canonical link tag for the post and add it to your prefered absolute URL. Google will rank only this one and it won’t be as duplicate content.

If you are not willing to filter only image uploads, i.e., all uploaded media will reside in the same folder/subdomain, then there’s a simple configuration solution: go to options-media.php set the Store uploads option to wp-content/uploads set the Full URL option to http://uploads.yourdomain.com create a subdomain making the uploads folder be http://uploads.yourdomain.com
Option 1 I assume custom post type generate a URL something like this domain.com/%custom-post-type%/%list% So you could write it so it looks as… since the main URL doesn’t have author before custom type you would have to do this via a function since authors are dynamic RewriteRule ^members/%author%/(.*)$ domain.com/%custom-post-type%/$1 This doesn’t specifically modify the custom … Read more

In your theme’s functions.php file, you just need to add: function neighborhoods_init() { // create a new taxonomy register_taxonomy( ‘neighborhoods’, ‘post’, array( ‘label’ => __( ‘Neighborhoods’ ), ‘hierarchical’ => true ) ); } add_action( ‘init’, ‘neighborhoods_init’ ); Next, … Read more
Calling $GLOBALS[“wp_rewrite”]->flush_rules() did make everything work as I required but that wouldn’t be a good solution. Actually, you have to flush the rewrite rules after modifying them (i.e. also when registering custom post types). Also, you should never rely on these global variables.
