Remove /portfolio/ from URL WordPress
Hello,
I am using the Virtue theme ( http://themes.kadencethemes.com/virtue/ ) and am having issues with my Permalinks.
This theme uses a Portfolio post type, which is great, though I am needing to use it more like pages. I want to remove the "/portfolio/" from the URL so that it reads "mysite.com/post-title" rather than "mysite.com/portfolio/post-title"
I have already done the following with no success:
- Installed "Custom Post Types Permalink" plugin
- gone into the "post-types.php" file and changed 'rewrite' => array('slug'=>'portfolio') to 'rewrite' => false, though this option fixed my URL problem, when I went to view my Portfolio post I was directed to a 404 Page Not Found error page.
site is www.bendpinenursery.com
What code/files do I need to change to allow Portfolio posts to be posted without a 'portfolio' slug and still show up on the site?

UPDATE:
Is it possible to narrow this down to just one type of custom slug? I am also using WooCommerce and now all the products (which use a "products" custom slug) are coming up with a 404 error after having their slug removed.
Reigel Gallarde answers:
when you got "404 Page Not Found" error page, did you try going to permalinks settings and update it?
I was thinking you already got it. but the permalinks were just not updated yet. that's why you are getting 404. You can try visiting Dashboard: Settings -> Permalink

resaving your permalink will fix that.
if not delete ur .htaccess and save permalink.
