How to manually add permalink base into htaccess file [closed]

Question

And when I use the permalink editor to add a base, it messes up my author links.

My current url structure is www.example.com/123 (123 being post_id) And my author URL is www.example.com/author-name (no base)

And when I use the permalink editor to add a base, it messes up my author links.

What is the code to add a post base with the htaccess file?

You can add a custom rewrite rule into your function php:

function add_rewrite_rules($aRules) {
    $aNewRules = array('posts/([^/]+)/?$' => 'index.php?p=$matches[1]');
    $aRules = $aNewRules + $aRules;
    return $aRules;
}
//hook add_rewrite_rules 
//function into rewrite_rules_array
add_filter('rewrite_rules_array', 'add_rewrite_rules'); 

You have to visit the permalinks settings page once to flush rewrite rules after adding this bit of code.

That should work (didn't tried it though).
