Getting rid of /my_custom_post_type/ in the single view URL

Question

When I'm reading a custom type post in the single view, I see that the URL is www.my_site.com/my_custom_post_type/title_of_my_post.

How to get rid of this ugly /my_custom_post_type/ ?

Answer 1

register_post_type( 'my_custom_post_type', array(
    'rewrite' => array( 'with_front' => false ),
    // other args
));

Make sure you flush your permalinks after changing your code - simply going to Settings > Permalinks is sufficient.
