Disable permalink on custom post type

by 

<?php
    add_filter('get_sample_permalink_html', 'my_hide_permalinks');
    function my_hide_permalinks($in){
        global $post;
        if($post->post_type == 'my_post_type')
            $out = preg_replace('~<div id="edit-slug-box".*</div>~Ui', '', $in);
        return $out;
    }

This will remove:

  • Permalink itself
  • View Post button
  • Get Shortlink button

If you want to remove permalink only, replace the line containing preg_replace with 

$out = preg_replace('~<span id="sample-permalink".*</span>~Ui', '', $in);

UPDATE:

get_sample_permalink_html has changed in version 4.4.

Here is the updated and tested code:

add_filter('get_sample_permalink_html', 'my_hide_permalinks', 10, 5);

function my_hide_permalinks($return, $post_id, $new_title, $new_slug, $post)
{
    if($post->post_type == 'my_post_type') {
        return '';
    }
    return $return;
}
