Why is wordpress permalink path wrong for single blog posts?

Question

I'm developing my site with MAMP and my homepage is at localhost:8888/wordpress

When I click on the link to my blog page (home.php) the url looks like this: localhost:8888/wordpress/blog

All good so far.

However, when I click on a blog post from the home.php template the url looks like this:

localhost:8888/wordpress/blogpostname

How can I make it so it's localhost:8888/wordpress/blog/blogpostname ?

When I changed my permalink settings to localhost:8888/wordpress/%category%/%postname%/ it still left out the /blog in the URL.

Why is it doing that and how can I fix it?

You should try changing the post permalink to - /blog/%category%/%postname%/ — Shazzad, Commented Feb 26, 2014 at 16:33

add /blog/ in your permalink settings:

/blog/%category%/%postname%/

or

/blog/%postname%/

That works but it adds the blog prefix to custom post types as well.

that's what the 'with_front' parameter is for when you register your custom post type, set that to false.
