    When editing a post type using MB AIO, I set a custom slug and save it. It seems to save to the database. But on reload, it pre-fills the value of the singular post name.

    So if I edit something else on the CPT, and forget to put my custom slug, it will set the wrong slug, and effectively disable the taxonomy until I fix it.

    This is a new problem since the recent update with the new layout

    Hi,

    If the CPT created before the updating, please follow this note on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-custom-post-type/#force-migrate and save the setting in Admin dashboard > Settings > Permalinks (Post name) again.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Thank you, it worked. I've been quite busy and didn't catch this important upgrade notice.

    Actually this seemed to work only for post types.

    But when editing my taxonomy, the slug still defaults to the Singular Name...

    To be clear the issue is the default field value for the slug when editing a Taxonomy in Meta Box > Taxonomies

    It's not actually changed in the database unless I accidentally save the default value, which is incorrect (I'm using custom taxonomy slug)

    Hi,

    The option Custom rewrite slug in Meta Box > Taxonomies > Edit/create a taxonomy > Advanced still works as well after Save the Permalinks again.

    Rewrite slug means to change the default taxonomy slug with your custom slug in the Permalink. Could you please share some screenshots if the problem still persists?
