How do I globally change parent slug on custom post type in WordPress

Question

I created a new post type in the WordPress functions.php file and the default slug is www.website.com/blog/new-slug, but I want it to be www.website.com/new-slug only. How do I remove /blog/ from the slug? I have 'hierarchical' => true, to so the post type acts like pages and also 'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'new-slug' ),, but it is not working, and /blog/ is in the slug for the new post type. Any insight would be helpful.

Answer 1

I figure it out. No idea why I missed this.

The rewrite parameter of the register_post_type() function has a parameter of with_front that when set to false will not be prepended with the front base specified by the permalink structure.

register_post_type( 'cpt', array(
    'rewrite' => array(
        'with_front' => false,
    )
);

The above will prevent /blog/ from being on URLs for your CPT's posts.
