remove portfolio url

That’s likely a theme issue – what theme are you using?

I’m using this one pytheas from wpexplorer
https://www.wpexplorer.com/pytheas-free-wordpress-theme/

any ideas??
Thanks Sunny

Can you contact wpexplorer regarding your issues with that theme?

I dont think so, their is no comment or contact function on their site ??
how can it be so difficult to do?? so fustratingg ??

“portfolio” may be a custom post type, in which case this plugin may be helpful:

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/custom-post-type-permalinks/

oh wow can’t believe that plugin fixed it! Thank you soooo much ?? ??

LOL – that was a guess on my part as a result of searching for “permalinks on custom post types”.

haha it worked like a treat, thaaaaank youu

Hi,
I’ve discovered that I have the same issue but for ‘services. For some reason it doesn’t remove it when I post something as a service and retains the service within the url. Any ideas of how I can remove that?

Thanks

I’m guessing that services isn’t a custom post type but a category ?

It is, I just figured how to do it. It’s a two step process first you have to install that plug in and then you have to go into the plugins php file e.g. symple-services/register_post_type.php and then find the following code

'rewrite' => array("slug" => "services"), // Permalinks format

change it to

'rewrite' => false, // Permalinks format

That makes it work ?? pheww

Hi

Please help!! This is driving me absolutely nuts over such a small pointless thing. I have this same isseue, whereby i have the Emporium template and it automatically forces /portfolioentry/ into the url for any portfolio entries. I would like this removed.

Ive installed the above mentioned “custom post type permalinks” plugin and all this does is allow me to change what comes AFTER the /portfolioentries/ bit which is completely pointless.

I have tried following your advice sunny017 but the file you mention does not exist. Teh only file for that pluis of the same name as the plugin ie:

custom-post-type-permalinks.php

This file doesnt contain anything like the code you have quoted. I have searched through it for everything mentioning “rewrite” and there are LOADS of entries. I am not sure how and which of these to change to fix this issue ??

The best i managed to get was to get the link in the portfolio edit screen to show correctly (win), the link when hovering over the link to the article on the homepage to show correctly (win), but when visiting this link it shows 404 (fail). The custom permalinks entry in the permalinks edit screen consistently shows the link still with the /portfolioentry/ bit still in it. i cant get rid of this. Please could someone advise before i throw my computer out of the window and quit web design all together.

The site is: https://www.scorpiontv.com

So just to be 100% clear. Where currently a link is, for example:

https://www.scorpiontv.com/portfolioentry/free-flow/

I would just like this link to be:

https://www.scorpiontv.com/free-flow/

Why is this so difficult? The code for the plugin is as follows:

Hi croocked bonsai,

I think I might of explained a little wrongly, the php file you need to edit is not the permalinks plug in one that you installed but the portoflio entry plug in. Do you have a portfolio entry plugin? if so you need to edit the php file which has a similar to what I wrote above. and then see if that works.

Hope this helps

Hi

Thank you for your response. However, i do not have the Portfolio Entry Plugin, nor can i find it in the available WordPress plugins to install. This seems to have been built into the template somehow.

Do you know what else this plugin you are referring to may be called? I have nothing else with Portfolio in the name except for the Portfolio Permalinks plugin.

I have run a search on my entire root directory for this file you mention (register_post_type.php) but can find nothing.

Are you able to shed some light? I am really struggling to see why something so simple seems to be so difficult with WordPress. Who would even want “portfolioentry” in their URL anyway.

Thanks

OK, the plot thickens…

I have managed to find a line in the functions.php file in the “create_portfolio” function which is as follows:

‘rewrite’ => true,

I have changed this to:

‘rewrite’ => false,

This seems to correctly update the links in the portfolio edit screen, the permalink on the Permalink page AND the link when you hover over the link to the actual portfolio page on the home screen.

BUT when you actually browse to the portfolio page itself it doesnt work – 404 error. So close yet so far.

I have tried refreshing the permalinks page but it doesnt helpo.

Please help :-S
