How do I set a custom base URL for standard posts?

Question

Currently, permalinks are set to /%postname%/.

I'd like to prefix "blog" before all standard posts.

I'm using several custom post types, each with their own rewrite rules in the setup.

How can I setup a custom prefix for my standard WordPress posts?

This is not that easy, I would suggest just adding a category called blog. — Wyck, May 19, 2011 at 5:27

did you try defining your perm structure like: /blog/%postname%/

If each one of your custom post types has its own slug defined, this should work like you are asking.

It is possible that this will also add this prefix to the rewrite rules of your other custom post types. If it does, you should explicitly set the with_front parameter of the rewrite argument you use when registering the post type to false. Use my Rewrite analyzer plugin to see the new structure of all your rewrite rules to prevent surprises.

Sweet, Jan, with_front was exactly what I needed.
