Is it possible to change the category URL name?

Hi,

Yes, it is. All you need to do is place the following piece of code in your theme/child theme functions.php

/**
 * Change Vimeo Video Post category taxonomy slug from vimeo-videos to videos
 *
 * @param array $args - taxonomy arguments
 * @param string $taxonomy - taxonomy name
 * @param array $objects - post types that use this taxonomy 
 *  @return array
 */
function customize_cvm_taxonomy( $args, $taxonomy, $objects ){
	if( !function_exists( 'cvm_get_category' ) ){
		return $args;
	}
	if( cvm_get_category() != $taxonomy ){
		return $args;
	}
	$args['rewrite']['slug'] = 'videos';	
	return $args;	
}
add_filter( 'register_taxonomy_args', 'customize_cvm_taxonomy', 10, 3 );

Please note that after putting this code in your theme functions.php you must navigate to your WP admin Settings->Permalinks and save the permalink structure (you don’t need to change anything, just hit save). Please let me know how it goes, thank you.

Hello. I tried this but it did not work. No longer does the /vimeo-videos/ path result in anything either.

After placing the code in your theme functions.php, have you updated the permalinks by going to WP Admin -> Settings -> Permalinks and hitting save (even without changing anything)?

I can confirm that I tested the code above and it works as expected.

I ended up using a different plugin for the permalink change. Going to mark this as resolved. Thank you for your time on this.
