My permalink settings is simply /%postname%/ (yes I read from the codex that this is bad performance practice). The result is:

  • a page url might look like site.com/pagename
  • a blog post looks like site.com/post-title
  • a portfolio (custom post type) post will look like site.com/portfolio/item-1

I would like my blog post page (single.php) to have a URL like site.com/blog/post-title. How might I do that?

Change your permalink structure to /blog/%postname%/.

EDIT

To get your custom post type to leave out the /blog part, in its registration arguments array, set the rewrite argument like this:

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

It won't "fail", those CPTs will just have 'blog' at the beginning of their permastruct. That's totally expected behavior. You could also filter those post types' rewrite rules on the '{$post_type}_rewrite_rules' filter, removing '/blog' from the beginning of any rule regexes. – John P Bloch Mar 29 at 15:39
