To get at archive pages (by default) the path is /%category%/ Which is fine. But how would i change it to have a static string prefix before the category variable (e.g. /archive/%category%).

Same thing for custom-post-type archives

Go to Settings > Permalinks and insert archive in the Category base field.

For custom post type archives, you can set that to anything you want via the has_archive argument of register_post_type:

'has_archive' => 'archive/your-post-type'

How do i do the has_archive thing? I use the Custom Post Types plugin to manage all my custom post types.... – cmurockstar Jul 22 '12 at 22:45
Also, I don't think the Category base field worked.... how would i then visit said archive? – cmurockstar Jul 22 '12 at 22:45
(sorry, the Custom Post Type UI plugin) – cmurockstar Jul 22 '12 at 22:52
How do i do the has_archive thing? I use the Custom Post Types plugin to manage all my custom post types. If that plugin doesn't have the option to set archive slug, then you'll have to add the post types manually. how would i then visit said archive? i'm not sure what you mean? any links to category pages will point to the new URL. – Milo Jul 25 '12 at 15:19
