Show custom post archive when custom post not specified

I have a custom post type called produce set up in WordPress and a custom taxonomy called produce_category.

The URL format for posts in this custom post type is in this format http://mywebsite/produce/%produce_category%/%postname%/. Of course %produce_category% and %postname% get substituted accordingly, a working example url would be http://mywebsite/produce/fruits-and-vegetables/avocado.

What I would like to do is show the produce_category custom taxonomy archive if a user visits http://mywebsite/produce/%produce_category%, without specifying post name at the end, e.g http://mywebsite/produce/fruits-and-vegetables to show all produce in fruits-and-vegetables produce_category.

Besides that when a user visits http://mywebsite/produce/ I would like to show all the produce archive. EDIT: I have this working now.

I know how to create the archive pages totally fine and have no problem with that. I am stuck at creating permalinks. When I visit http://mywebsite/produce/%produce_category% I get a 404 error.

I'm looking for advise on the best way to implement this. Currently I am using Custom Post Type Permalinks and CPTUI.

The CPTUI custom taxonomy settings interface does not allow me to have a blank in the custom rewrite slug. It defaults to the custom taxonomy slug, produce_category, when I don't fill in anything. enter image description here

This gives the front-side produce_category taxonomy archive url as http://mywebsite/produce/produce_category/%produce_category%/ e.g. http://mywebsite/produce/produce_category/fish-and-seafood/ when what I want for the archive is http://mywebsite/produce/fish-and-seafood/.

Please help with suggestion on the best way I can achieve the custom taxonomy url.

Thank you all.

Try this code. It will help you to achieve your url structure... Make sure you update permalinks after saving it to functions.php

function custom_produce_category_link( $link, $term, $taxonomy )
{
    if ( $taxonomy !== 'produce_category' )
        return $link;

    return str_replace( 'produce_category/', '', $link );
}
add_filter( 'term_link', 'custom_produce_category_link', 10, 3 );
