Change plugin's has_archive = true to false?

Question

When a plugin registers a post type and sets has_archive to true, is there a way to change it to be false? I don't want the plugin's post type to have an archive, but can't figure out how to turn it off.

A similar questions was asked here, but has no responses: Changing a custom post type "has_archive" after registered

Answer 1

The register_post_type_args filter (available from WordPress v4.4 on) will allow post type registration arguments to be changed:

function wpse206329_custom_post_type_args( $args, $post_type ) {
    if ( $post_type === "my_post_type" ) {
        $args['rewrite'] = false;
    }

    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', 'wpse206329_custom_post_type_args', 20, 2 );
