I'm thinking of creating a CPT but I want the slug to be the same as my PermaLink, ie post only.
However, Toolset insists on putting the CPT slug in the UR, ie hidden link
Is there anyway I can change this so it only shows the postname? ie hidden link
Unfortunately, there is no native way in Toolset to remove the CPT slug from permalinks entirely. This behavior is tied to how WordPress handles URL structures. The standard WordPress URL structure requires a directory slug (like "CPT") for rewrite rules to work as expected. Removing the slug entirely can cause conflicts with other URL types (e.g., pages, archives) and may require complex custom rewrite rules.
If you'd like to explore this further, here are two resources that explain how you might achieve this with custom code:
Disclaimer: Please note that implementing such changes is not recommended due to potential conflicts with WordPress rewrite rules. Additionally, custom code modifications are beyond the scope of Toolset support. If you choose to proceed, we recommend testing thoroughly to ensure your site continues to function as expected.
If this becomes a challenge or a blocker, you might consider reaching out to a developer for assistance. You can connect with professional developers familiar with Toolset through our Contractors portal: https://toolset.com/contractors/
