Custom permalink with only post name

Resolved tgeddy

I have custom fields called “games” and I want their permalinks to be example.com/game-name.

If I change the WordPress permalink setting to post name, I get example.com/games/game-name. If I change the custom rewrite slug setting in cpt ui to %postname%, I get example.com/game-name/game-name. How can I get it to be example.com/game-name? Thank you!

That’s a topic that CPTUI doesn’t attempt to cover, as it gets into the rewrite rules API and customizing permalinks at a higher level. One thing to keep in mind is that the “game-name” first part of the URL is helping with the querying, telling WordPress to only look at the “game-name” post type slug, instead of having to look at ALL rows in the posts table.

I know there are tutorials out there for the topic, but it’s simply not something our UI will cover.

function remove_cpt_slug( $post_link, $post, $leavename ) {
 
    if ( 'games' != $post->post_type || 'publish' != $post->post_status ) {
        return $post_link;
    }
 
    $post_link = str_replace( '/' . $post->post_type . '/', '/', $post_link );
 
    return $post_link;
}
add_filter( 'post_type_link', 'remove_cpt_slug', 10, 3 );

function gparse_request_trick( $query ) {

    // Only noop the main query
    if ( ! $query->is_main_query() )
        return;

    // Only noop our very specific rewrite rule match
    if ( 2 != count( $query->query ) || ! isset( $query->query['page'] ) ) {
        return;
    }

    // 'name' will be set if post permalinks are just post_name, otherwise the page rule will match
    if ( ! empty( $query->query['name'] ) ) {
        $query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'page', 'games' ) );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'parse_request_trick' );
