   I'm working with custom post types, I've developed a plugin with no problems. the problem is when I try to set a empty slug. The permalink is created correctly but I always get 404 error with this URL.

   http://www.domain.com/test/post-name/ this works fine.
   http://www.domain.com/post-name/ this get 404 , but this is that I want.

   I'm wondering if it is possible to obtain this config, without touching the core of WP and make it forward compatible

   Thanks!

   function create_post_type() {
     register_post_type( 'test',
       array(
         'labels' => array(
           'name' => __( 'test' ),
           'singular_name' => __( 'tests' )
         ),
         'public' => true,
         'rewrite' => array(
         	'slug' => '',
   	    'with_front' => true)
       )
     );
   }

   Hi,

   register_post_type function build permalink with slug/post_type structure.
   so setting slug to '' will not help.

   WP need to know post type from query to show post.
   You can try hook some of query parsing actions/filters, check by post slug thats your custom post and add query param post_type to wp query before it will get post from db.

   Thanks :)

   I've solved it.

   This works, but I had to re-update the permalinks config to see the effect.

   <?php
   /*
   Plugin Name: Aggressivex Network Custom Post
   Version: 1.0
   Author: Luis Muñoz
   Author URI: http://www.aggressivex.com/author/luis.munoz/
   */
   class AN_custom_post
   {
   	var $post_type_name		= 'product';
   	var $post_type_label 		= 'Products';
   
   	function __construct()
   	{
   		add_action('init', array(&$this,'register_post'));
   	}
   
   	function register_post()
   	{
   		register_post_type($this->post_type,
   			array(
   				'label'           => $this->post_type_label,
   				'public'          => true,
   				'show_ui'         => true,
   				'hierarchical'	  => true,
   				'rewrite'         => array(
   					'slug'		 	=> '',
   					'with_front'	=> true
   				),
   				'hierarchical'    => true,
   				'supports'        => array(
   					'title',
   					'editor',
   					'custom-fields'
   				),
   			)
   		);
   	}
   }
   
   new AN_custom_post();

   that's really neat! if i set the permalinks to /%postname%/ then it goes http://www.mysite.com/product1 woo. wish WP could automatically take the page-style permalinks so that blogs could maintain dates, but still that is a very cool work-around.

   Sometimes it doesn't work unless you update your permalinks under settings > permalinks > Save Changes (Even if you didnt make any changes to the permalink in that page) it refresh the mod rewrite and get your new permalinks

   This seems to work:

   'rewrite' => array('slug' => '/')

   Output: example.com/headline/

   Slug removed—no extra slashes.

   Remember to flush as mentioned by @winningsem

   @ciantic

   have you tried to update permalinks after adding the / ?
   it worked for me doing that.
   The strange thing is un my virtual server I it worked directly, without having to do it.
   Don't ask me why :)

    @ciantic Yea you definitely need to flush the permalinks. To do that just go Setting » Permalinks and then try the page again. You don't need to actually change anything on the Permalinks settings. Just going in there will flush them.

    @synthview Screw up how? I just tested this again with a current version of WP and it works no problem. Here is a live example I just put up from work.

    Actually I stand corrected. It blows sh** up LOL. The CPT worked but it seems to screw up some other things like the normal pages and the author pages. If you don't want a slug my best suggestion for now is just to pick something really short as the slug or maybe an underscore. I think a slug is good anyway for users. If you're getting 404s just change the slug and flush the permalinks again.
