    This might be obvious, but I haven’t found it yet. Is it possible to create custom post types that do everything they do but prevent them from being viewable as single posts? I am using these for a directory type setting but only need/want the information to show up in that context rather than each on their own URL as well.

    …nevermind. Seems that setting Publicly Queryable to false does the trick.

    I was going to recommend utilizing the template_redirect action hook and check if is_single('my-post-type') and redirect elsewhere from there.

    However if publicly queryable works without wrecking displaying the information needed in other views, awesome.

    Let us know if you need anything else.

    Out of curiosity, how could setting publicly queryable to false change what is displayed when writing out the post content?

    My thought pattern for this is more in say a custom WP_Query request that you’re using to construct output with, vs what I’m interpreting “publicly_queryable” doing here which is giving a solo permalink to see a given post with a theme’s single.php template file rendering the result.

    Because my head says both are doing a query technically, in the code, but to what degree is that “publicly” word.
