Remove slug from front of custom post type?

Can you provide your post type settings via the Tools menu, and then the current permalink settings you’re using?

The post type settings will be the huge blob of text on the right side.

so just “post name” for the permalink setting?

I am a little curious about the choice to use “blog” for the post type, because historically has had “blog” as part of its URL structure. See some of the notes at https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/register_post_type/#rewrite for a brief example. This detail confused me originally earlier when I first read this thread.

That said, since “blog” is just your post type, my tutorial post over at https://michaelbox.net/2020/06/slugless-post-type-permalinks/ would apply here.

Hi Michael

Yes sorry the use of the name blog was not my choice they are posts that have come over from the original website. this is a rebuild.

I have to say your plugin is great and your response on support is as good. Well done.

Hi Machael

I am just working on a carousel and wrestling with a bootstrap grid so will move onto your solution probably tomorrow now.

Thanks for all your help.
