I have Wordpress installed on the root of my website. It is using a static homepage and posts page. As it stands, each post will look like this example.com/blogpostname.

I don't want to use category workaround where you set the default post's category to blog, it seems more like a workaround than a solution.

Thanks.

Reset to default

In admin under Settings > Permalinks, select Custom Structure and enter /blog/%postname%/.

This will prepend /blog/ to categories and tags by default, and any custom post types and taxonomies where you have not registered them with the with_front argument set to false. you can remove it from the built-in category and tag taxonomies by setting category base and tag base (also under Settings > Permalinks) to category and tag, respectively (or whatever you want your bases to be). The end result will be that only posts will contain the blog prefix.

  • Won't that be site-wide though, not only on blog posts?
