Hello,
Thank you for contacting us.
If you do not want permalinks to be displayed in your FAQs, you can go to “Settings” –> “Basic” and set the “Include Permalink Icon” to “No”. That way, when a FAQ is clicked, the permalink to your FAQ pages will not be displayed.
Best regards,

Thanks for the tip! I had actually already done that, but would like to prevent the permalink pages from being created at all
Hi fra39,
The FAQs are a custom post type and the FAQ categories are a taxonomy, and, as with all post types and taxonomies in WordPress, they have their own permalink URLs. There’s no way around this. If you want to stop search engines from crawling specific URLs on your site, then you should look into disallowing those URLs, either via your robots.txt file or using a plugin.
