I am using custom taxonomies with WordPress 3.0.4
Does anyone how to remove the taxonomy base from the URL?
I have seen plugins that do it for categories and tags, but not for custom taxonomies.
For example, I have a custom taxonomy called 'cities'. I would like my URL structure to be mydomain.com/newyork instead of mydomain.com/cities/newyork
Is there a function or something I can use?
@iamfriendly and @Carson - setting the with_front argument to false (or true for that matter) will not allow you to remove 'cities' from the URL.

If you look there, you'll see a 'rewrite' argument which you can see to true. This argument also takes an argument of 'with_front' which defaults to true... which is why you have the 'front' of the taxonomy.
When creating your custom taxonomy, set those arguments as you wish, and you'll be away :)
If it is you who has set up this custom taxonomy, then you're able to actually set the with_front argument to false which will stop this happening. If you look here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_taxonomy
You'll see the 'rewrite' argument and just below that, you'll see the 'with_front' part.
with_front => false does not remove the taxonomy base. If I use slug => false I get the desired result, BUT it breaks all other permalinks.
