Remove slug for just one custom post type

I like the plugin as well. I am also looking for an option that allows me to select which custom post type the slug is removed from.

The idea is good. And just for the record, I installed the plugin on my 3.5.2 wp site, and it worked good. But after I disabled the plugin, the custom post type’s slugs are still removed. I tried resetting permalinks but still nothing. It seems the plugin modifies the site permanently even if the plugin is disabled afterwards. ??

would be curious about this too – not only about the possibility to single out certain CPTs, but also the question of whether the plugin makes permanent changes, and/or how to recover the slugs should we change our minds…

is this plugin still supported?
cheers!

Hello Jenny and everybody, I just found out that the plugin adds some lines to the .httaccess, so that’s why it works even after the plugin is disabled. Just access this file from your ftp (or get a plugin to edit it).

# BEGIN REMOVE SLUG CUSTOM POST TYPE RULES
RewriteRule ^sk_igallery/(.+)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^gallery/(.+)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^video/(.+)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^project/(.+)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
# END REMOVE SLUG CUSTOM POST TYPE RULES

Thanks for the info netjmt!

I also need to remove the slug from just a single custom post type.

Unfortunately I am not proficient enough with PHP to be able to make the required changes myself.

OK, so I had a go at modifying the plugin to do what we want (see pastebin URL below). I have added a set of checkboxes that allow you to select the custom post types you want to apply it to. These are then saved as a custom option and loaded again when the options page is viewed. However I cannot figure out how to proceed from here.

I guess it just needs to selectively apply the various filters according to which custom post types have been selected but this is beyond me at this point. Can anyone with a bit more experience pick it up and run with it?

I came here wondering if anyone could help me with static homepage being forcibly disabled by this plugin. But doesn’t seem much helpful.

Anyway, those wanting it on per-post basis, should try another plugin I used before knowing this one – www.ads-software.com/plugins/custom-permalinks

iamnix: We want to apply it to certain Custom Post Types, not individual posts. Why would you only want to apply it to certain posts? This is plugin is all about making a clean and consistent URL structure; removing the slug from individual posts would make URLs inconsistent and confusing.
