Remove CPT Base

Remove CPT Base strips the custom post type slug from permalinks, creating cleaner URLs. Instead of /products/my-product, get /my-product. This works for any custom post type you specify. Cleaner URLs can improve SEO and user experience. The module handles necessary rewrite rules and maintains proper functionality while giving you the URL structure you want.
