Custom Post Type with archive page but no detail page

You can’t just disable single pages, you can however make it appear as if they do not exist. I suggest

1) ensure that there are no links on the site pointing to the single page

2) Create a file “single-trivia.php” in your theme with the content as <?php include '404.php';?>

3) use template_redirect or template_include hook to change the template to 404 if it’s a single trivia page

4) use post_row_actions hook to remove the view link from admin panel
