URL structure

I think I’ve solved my problem.

It worked when I applied it as shown in the picture.

I hope this is the right method 🙂

I’m still stuck on the URL structure and would really appreciate a precise, step-by-step solution from you. What I want

I have 2 directory types and I want this URL structure:

• https://site.com/job/{listing-slug}/
• https://site.com/business/{listing-slug}/

So:

• job = base for the “Job” directory type
• business = base for the “Business” directory type
• No /directory/ (or any other extra segment) before those.

What I’m getting now

Right now my single listing URLs are:

• https://site.com/directory/job/font-end-developer/
• https://site.com/directory/business/mall-of-america/

I need to remove the /directory/ part completely, but keep the directory type slug (job / business) in the URL. Current configuration

• WordPress: (latest stable)
• Directorist: 8.5.6
• Multi-directory: Enabled
• Two directory types are configured as:
  • Directory type 1:
    • Name: Jobs
    • Slug: job
  • Directory type 2:
    • Name: Business
    • Slug: business
• In Directory Listings → Settings → Listings → Single Listing (screenshot I sent earlier):
  • “Add Directory Type to Permalink” = ON
  • “Listing Slug” (Single Listing Slug) = empty
• After any change, I always go to Settings → Permalinks → Save to flush rewrite rules.
• There is no visible “Permalinks” tab under Directorist settings in my admin (no place where I can set or clear a “Listing Base” like directory).
• I also temporarily switched to a default theme and deactivated all non-essential plugins to confirm the prefix is not coming from the theme or other plugins. The URLs stayed the same (/directory/job/...), so it seems to be purely Directorist-side behavior.

What I’ve already tried (unsuccessful)

1. Verified both directory types have correct slugs (job, business).
2. Verified “Add Directory Type to Permalink” is enabled and the global Single Listing Slug field is empty.
3. Flushed permalinks multiple times.
4. Tried various filters in a must-use snippet (Perfmatters snippet), for example:
   • atbdp_listing_slug_pattern
   • atbdp_rewrite_base
   • directorist_listing_base
     None of these changed the /directory/ prefix in practice (even after flushing permalinks).
5. Disabled the theme and theme-related plugins to ensure nothing theme-side is forcing /directory/.

Despite all that, the URL always remains:

• /directory/job/{slug}
• /directory/business/{slug}

What I need from you

I don’t want to hack the database or rely on a fragile workaround that breaks on updates. I need the official, supported way to configure Directorist (v8.5.x, multi-directory enabled) so that:

• Single listing URLs become:
  • site.com/job/{listing-slug}
  • site.com/business/{listing-slug}
• The /directory/ prefix is completely removed.
• The solution is stable across updates and does not require manual DB edits.

Could you please provide:

1. The exact settings path and fields I should use in the current version (8.5.6) to control/remove the /directory/ base in multi-directory mode?
2. If this is controlled by a specific option (for example, something like single_listing_slug_with_directory_type or a “Directory Base” setting), where exactly can I change this in the UI in 8.5.6?
3. If the current version does not allow removing /directory/ via UI, what is the recommended, update-safe PHP filter (with the correct hook names for 8.5.6) that you suggest to achieve:
   • {directory_type}/{slug}
     instead of
   • directory/{directory_type}/{slug} ?

Right now I’m blocked at this point, so a concrete step-by-step answer for my specific setup (2 directory types: job and business, multi-directory enabled) would be extremely helpful.

Thank you in advance.
