@kellenmace, Hi Kellen thx for your answer! Oops I lost that line somewhere.. Now the error is gone but the slugs (both) are not removed..
Permalinks saved a few times, caches cleared, clean install, latest WP, CPT's created with CPT UI.. For a single CPT your script still woks fine..
Any Ideas? Here is the code I have right now:

`/**

  • Remove the slug from published post permalinks. Only affect our custom post type, though.
    */
    function gp_remove_cpt_slug( $post_link, $post ) {

    $custom_post_types=array ( 'example1', 'example2' );

    if ( ! in_array( $post->post_type, $custom_post_types ) ||'publish'!=$post->post_status ) {
    $post_link = str_replace( '/' . $post->post_type . '/', '/', $post_link );
    }

    return $post_link;
    }
    add_filter( 'post_type_link', 'gp_remove_cpt_slug', 10, 2 );

/**

  • Have WordPress match postname to any of our public post types (post, page, race).

  • All of our public post types can have /post-name/ as the slug, so they need to be unique across all posts.

    function gp_add_cpt_post_names_to_main_query( $query ) {

    // Bail if this is not the main query.
    if ( ! $query->is_main_query() ) {
    return;
    }

    // Bail if this query doesn't match our very specific rewrite rule.
    if ( ! isset( $query->query['page'] ) || 2 !== count( $query->query ) ) {
    return;
    }

    // Bail if we're not querying based on the post name.
    if ( empty( $query->query['name'] ) ) {
    return;
    }

    // Add CPTs to the list of post types WP will include when it queries based on the post names.
    $query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'page', 'example1', 'example2' ) );
    }
    add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'gp_add_cpt_post_names_to_main_query' );`

Thank you so much for your help! Stefan

The code works for Parent Pages but for the child pages.
I am trying to remove the word 'slug' here

domain.com/slug/hosting (works)
domain.com/slug/hosting/wp-engine (getting 404 error)

My CPT is hierachical where the second links is the child of the first link. I am getting 404 error for the second.
