Remove Modify Slug From Permalinks For Single CPT Post and Taxonomy Term Pages

The code in this download folder enables you to remove the slug from the permalinks for single custom post types and taxonomy term archive pages.

In this case, the default permalink for single posts of a custom post type,before adding the code is

example.com/cpt-name/single-post

And the taxonomy term permalink is

example.com/taxonomy/term-slug

After the code is added, the cpt-name can be removed and taxonomy type slug can be modified producing a permalink like this for the single post :

example.com/single-post

And a permalink like this for the taxonomy term

example.com/cat/term-slug

Also included in this download folder is code for :

• Creating your custom post
• Creating your taxonomy terms using the interface added via code without adding more code for each new term
• A single template for customizing/modifying single CPT’s
• A taxonomy template for customizing/modifying your taxonomy term archive pages for each term

Make sure you resave your permalinks after installing the code. Go to Dashboard > Settings > permalinks and click Save.
