Tried this on a staging copy first and it behaved exactly as described. Confident enough to roll it to production now.

This is the answer I wish I had found six months ago. Would have saved me a weekend of trial and error.

This matches my experience exactly. The hard part is staying consistent once the initial novelty wears off.

We ran into the same situation last quarter. What worked for us was starting small and only adding complexity when a real need showed up.

Run wp jetonomy flush-rules (or visit Settings > Permalinks and save) after changing the base slug. The 404s are stale rewrite rules — regenerating them fixes it immediately.

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.
