## Code

```php
// Post types without an archive page.
$wpide_no_archive_types = array( 'portfolio' );

add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', function ( $args, $post_type ) use ( $wpide_no_archive_types ) {
    if ( in_array( $post_type, $wpide_no_archive_types, true ) ) {
        $args['has_archive'] = false;
    }

    return $args;
}, 10, 2 );
```

## Notes

Visit Settings > Permalinks once afterwards so a page with that slug can take over the URL.
