I have a little problem with removing the taxonomy base from the URL in Wordpress. I tried different approaches but none worked.

register_taxonomy('project_category','projects',array(
  'labels' => $labels,
  'show_ui' => true,
  'rewrite' => array(
      'slug' => 'project-category',
      'with_front' => false,
      'hierarchical' => true),
  'hierarchical' => true)
);

I currently see the URL like this : http://mysite.com/project-category/project1 and i want it to be like this: http://mysite.com/project1.

I tried to rewrite the slug to '' instead 'project-category' but that messed with all my othr pages, redirecting to a 404 page.

Heres how I've manage to get my url to rewirte to a spcific url.

add_action('init', 'portfolio_register');  

function portfolio_register() {
$args = array(
    'label' => __('Portfolio'),
    'singular_label' => __('Project'),
    'public' => true,
    'show_ui' => true,
    'capability_type' => 'post',
    'hierarchical' => false,
    'rewrite' => true,
    'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'thumbnail')
   );  

register_post_type( 'portfolio' , $args );
}  

register_taxonomy(
   "project-type",
   array("portfolio"),
   array("hierarchical" => true,
   "label" => "Project Types",
   "singular_label" => "Project Type",
   "rewrite" => true
));

Also check out some tutorials and sometimes you can grab bits& pieces from theme.
