Removing custom post type name in single article URLs

Question

My articles are not standard posts but custom post types (not sure about how to formulate this exactly). When viewing an article in single view, the URL is : my_site.com/custom_type_name/article_title, whereas I want: my_site.com/article_title, just like with normal posts.

How to achieve that ?

Answer 1

Use the post_type_link hook, like this for use hash in link

faq is the example custom post type

add_action( 'post_type_link', 'wpse70763_post_type_link', 10, 2 );
function wpse70763_post_type_link( $link, $post ) {

    $post_type = 'faq';

    if ( $post->post_type === $post_type )
        $link = get_post_type_archive_link( $post_type ) . '#' . $post->post_name;

    return $link;
}

then unset($wp_rewrite->extra_permastructs['faq'])

On the init of your CPT unset the pemastructure
