How to remove game post URL base

Some of you asked for a tutorial for removing the /game/ URL base from the game post slugs. You can do it in 2 steps:

Step 1:
Install this free plugin and activate it – Simple Post Type Permalinks
(this plugin extends your WP Permalink settings screen with additional Custom Post type permalink options that will enable you to configure the VegasHero game posts.

Step 2:
Add this custom code to your child theme’s functions.php (you must use the child theme to preserve these changes after future theme updates)

function vh_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 CPT to the list of post types WP will include when it queries based on the post name.
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'page', 'vegashero_games' ) );
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'vh_add_cpt_post_names_to_main_query' );
