Rewrite url for custom post type and custom taxomonies in wordpress

I have custom post type and custom taxonomies.

Currently I am using custom category in my menus and url of that is.

https://example.com/customposttypeslug/categories1
https://example.com/customposttypeslug/categories2
https://example.com/customposttypeslug/categories3


So i want to change this to as below

https://example.com/categories1
https://example.com/categories2
https://example.com/categories3


I have gone through many articles on stack and google but i didnt find how to remove customposttype slug from url for custom post type.

Here is the code for creating custom post type and taxonomies

add_action('init', 'shopify_theme_app_cpt');
function shopify_theme_app_cpt() {
register_post_type('apps', array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => 'Shopify Themes & Apps',
'singular_name' => 'Shopify Theme & App',
),
'description' => 'Add shopify themes and apps for showing a customer.',
'public' => true,
'menu_position' => 20,
'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'custom-fields','thumbnail'),
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'apps', 'with_front' => false ),
));
}

// set up labels
$labels = array(
'name' => 'shopify Categories',
'singular_name' => 'shopify Category',
'search_items' => 'Search shopify Categories',
'all_items' => 'All shopify Categories',
'edit_item' => 'Edit shopify Category',
'update_item' => 'Update shopify Category',
'add_new_item' => 'Add New shopify Category',
'new_item_name' => 'New shopify Category',
'menu_name' => 'shopify Categories'
);
// register taxonomy
register_taxonomy( 'shopify', 'apps', array(
'hierarchical' => true,
'labels' => $labels,
'query_var' => true,
'show_admin_column' => true
) );


The url is displaying like this :-

https://example.com/shopify/apps


I want to remove shopify from the url.

Try this, it might help. for more

'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'customposttypeslug','with_front' => false),

'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'customposttypeslug','with_front' => false),

*****just make sure that, after updating the code, you flush the rewrite rules by visiting Settings > Permalinks. Otherwise, you'll still see the old links.*****
