WordPress Custom Post Type – Rewrite Query

So I have a project I am currently working on, where I have a WordPress set to a permalink structure of /blog/%postname% for blog posts and pages are domain.com/page-slug/

I have created a custom post type named “portfolio” which has an archive, but also have a page named “portfolio” which pulls the posts in the portfolio custom post type into it.

Now for the slug of the portfolio’s I have the custom rewrite set up, as I have to not align with front else the slug would have been /blog/portfolio/postname/ to my custom permalink structure of /blog/postname:

'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'portfolio', 'with_front' => false)

Which means the portfolio posts will be /portfolio/post-slug – but the issue is, going to /portfolio/ shows the archive and not the page.

How can I get it to show the portfolio page and not the archive?

Method 1

How can I get it to show the portfolio page and not the archive?

1. As pointed in the comments, just set has_archive to false.
2. But after that, be sure to flush the rewrite rules – just visit the permalink settings admin page.
