Adding another word in front of post url

Question

I have a wordpress website with bunch of posts. My problem is that I need to change the URLs from

website.com/post-name

to

website.com/specialword/post-name

The "specialword" is what I need to add in front of those post names, but ONLY for the post type - posts.

Can someone help me?

I need this badly, mostly because of the SEO purposes so I can keep the URLs from the previous website that wasn't done in wordpress.

Thank you! Slavisa

You can do it from Settings > Permalinks.

Select the Custom Structure radio button, and put this in the text field next to it:

/myspecialword/%postname%

Works.

	I know that, but I need this setting applied ONLY to post type posts, not all types of posts (pages, custom post types, etc) – IWalkedAway Sep 27 '12 at 7:23
	Have you tried it? – Rutwick Gangurde Sep 27 '12 at 7:53
	Of course I have, and it works fine for posts and pages, but the custom post type pages have the url: /myspecialword/custom-post-type/%postname% – IWalkedAway Oct 3 '12 at 10:19
	Ohh yes... Cuz the special word gets appended after the url. I guess you might need a URL rewrite. – Rutwick Gangurde Oct 4 '12 at 5:13
