Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am creating a custom post type. But when I am adding a custom post of that type the post slug is prepending on that post link. How I can remove it?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hi there,

That is how WordPress work. You can use a method like this to force it to go away:

https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/203951/remove-slug-from-custom-post-type-post-urls

But please consider that it will cause an easy conflict in URLs.

For example if you have a page with the name of hello and a custom post item with the name of hello, WordPress will not know which one to show when you access:

YOURWEBSITE.com/hello

Thanks.

There are so many codes on that page. Which one should I use?

Hi there,

This code:

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 );

And this code:

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', 'events', 'page' ) );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'na_parse_request' );

In both codes, you need to replace `events` with the slug of your custom post type.

Thanks.
