It's possible to have a post type with no archive and a single, but not the other way around. Funnily enough, I find that we far more often could use what isn't available versus what is. There are workarounds. One option is to make it a non-publicly-queryable post type and use a page template or something to display the results. Another option I've seen around is to hook into template_redirect on the single and redirect the user. Chances are there's no links on the front-end, so this really only occurs when users click on the link from edit-post admin-side. Another thing to consider here is SEO plugins and the like which look to the definition of the CPT to build the sitemap. The redirect method ends up putting useless links in the sitemap. The page template method works fine, but obviously means the CPT has to be queried separately. Would there be a downside to adding a sibling `has_single` option? If it's true by default then it's backwards compatible, and the single rewrites simply reflect the option." feature request new normal Awaiting Review Posts, Post Types 4.6 normal needs-unit-tests has-patch
