Permalinks structure help #302

Closed dahliadahlia closed 6 years ago

dahliadahlia commented 6 years ago

Hello! I'm just dipping my toes into the Webcomic plugin and I can't quite get my permalinks to work the way I want them to.

Expected Behavior

Visit front page of site: mywebcomic.com, shows the most recent comic. Visit another comic page: mywebcomic.com/name-of-comic-page

Current Behavior

Visit another comic page: mywebcomic.com/webcomic-name/name-of-webcomic-page

Context

I'm working with a single collection, so I'm trying to make the urls as neat as possible. When viewing comics, it forces the webcomic collection name/slug into the url. I can't leave the "Single webcomic slug" portion of the permalinks blank.

Environment

4.4.1 - Webcomic 4.9.2 - WordPress 7.1 - PHP

Unfortunately, what you're seeing is how WordPress handles custom post type permalink's; there's no reliable way to remove the webcomic-name prefix (without breaking other parts of WordPress, at least). The best you could do is use an extremely short prefix, like _ or c, but – since it's mandatory – something like comic or page (a short but recognizable word) might be more user-friendly.
