My usecase was I was having a link domain.com/tutors/tutor-name. The tutors is cpt and the tutor-name is the slug.
Desired output was domain.com/tutor-name.
The following code is an extract from the StackExchange but it contains a few comments that clarify a few things for me.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 | /** * * Source: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/203951/remove-slug-from-custom-post-type-post-urls * * Doesn't change the permalink (get_permalink(id)) for the cpt post but the expected link does work with just /slug instead of /tutors(cpt)/slug * * You can do the following to manipulate the permalink * * ``` * * 'tutorProfileLink' => str_replace('/tutors/', '/', get_permalink(get_the_ID())) * * ``` * * Please note the original link of /tutors(cpt)/slug will still be working as is and also /slug will work * * @param $post_link * @param $post * @param $leavename * @return mixed * */ function na_remove_slug($post_link, $post, $leavename) { if ('events' != $post->post_type || 'publish' != $post->post_status) { return $post_link; } $post_link = str_replace('/' . $post->post_type . '/', '/', $post_link); return $post_link; } add_filter('post_type_link', 'na_remove_slug', 10, 3); function na_parse_request($query) { if (!$query->is_main_query() || 2 != count($query->query) || !isset($query->query['page'])) { return; } if (!empty($query->query['name'])) { $query->set('post_type', array('post', 'tutors', 'page')); } } add_action('pre_get_posts', 'na_parse_request'); |
I also kept the above settings. Not that it did any magic but just for having the log.
