I am trying to: create post types that do not have create a slug or subdirectory for that post type.

For example, I have a post type for Locations.

Right now it create pages with this URL structure:

example.com/locations/newyork

Instead I'd like it to be:

example.com/newyork

How do I make this work? Thanks so much!

Hi Hashim

Firstly, you are posting in the community forum, as a registered user you can post in the professional forum where you can expect more prompt support.

WordPress by default requires a slug for custom post types, which is partly designed to avoid naming collisions with standard posts and pages.

It is possible to override this with custom code, but that is outside our support policy. However, it is a common enough topic that you can find plenty of online posts about it. I searched and found this one which covers what is required simply, and suggest you read that and see if you can adapt it to your needs: hidden link
