Is it possible to remove the taxonomy slug and does it somehow affect SEO?

Question

Taxonomy

Hello, there is such a task - there is a site on wordpress - https//:mysite.ru/catalog_shkafy/shkafy-kupe, and that's actually the essence of the question is it possible to somehow remove the "catalog_shkafy" slug so that it remains https//:mysite.ru /shkafy -kupe? Freelancing has not yet helped with this issue, but the customer needs exactly this type of url. Does this slug affect SEO in any way? Please do not judge strictly. Thanks to everyone who can help in any way.

Answer 1

redirect, apache:

Redirect 301 /catalog_shkafy /catalog_shkafy/shkafy-kupe

Answer 2

If you create a page or post with the shkafy-kupe slug, then you will have a serious routing problem, because and post and category will have the same url
