How to remove the custom post type name (CPT) from the URL/Slug?

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.

*
* 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.
