 * Hello,
 * I am wondering how you can create a custom post type but hide / not generate 
   the singular post instances.
 * The use case here is that I am using a custom post type for an FAQ and only want
   them to exist within an accordion on a page so there’s no use for single post
   pages for each item.
 * I turned off “public” and while that removes the permalink part from the edit
   screen when you are on the “All” screen the “View” link is still there when you
   hover. I know for some clients that will cause confusion when they see an ugly
   page with hardly any content.
 * Is there a way to create custom post types without single pages existing for 
   them?
 * Sure I can noindex them, make sure they aren’t linked anywhere or in the sitemap
   but while the “View” link appears, webmasters and site owners will still find
   it.
 * Maybe that could be removed in the next version to align with hiding the permalink
   on the edit post screen which has already been catered for.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hi [@one3rdnerd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/one3rdnerd/)
 * You also need to disable “Publicly Queryable” in order to disallow singular pages
   for CPT.
 * Cheers, Jory
