Prepand Blog to Post Permalink

How to Add ‘/blog/’ Prefix in Blog Posts

Add blog to all the single posts permalink without writing a single line of code!

Sometimes we need to segregate different types of URL under some categories. Say for example you have a Woo Shop then you have /shop to identify a product or you have custom post type say services then you have /service, So now suppose we also need show all single blog posts under /blog then to achieve this we simply have to change the Permalink Settings.

To do this first login into WordPress admin panel and then navigate to

Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks

Under Common Settings section select Custom Structure and set it to /blog/%postname%/

Now our single post page is setup, we now need to also add /blog to category and tag archive page, to this we need to alter Optional section field value. Set blog/category in Category base, and blog/tag in Tag base.

That it! we have set everything without writing a single line of code.

Just one important note if we have any custom post_type then we need to add with_front to false in rewrite, for example:

<?php
$labels = [
    "name" => __('Services', 'text-domain'),
    //…
    //…
];

$args = [
    "label" => __('Services', 'text-domain'),
    "labels" => $labels,
    //…
    //…
    "rewrite" => ["slug" => "service", "with_front" => FALSE], //<- SET with_front to FALSE
    //…
];
register_post_type("service", $args);

It's that's simple just a quick tips if we also need to add category name with blog to blog single post then we need to set Custom Structure to /blog/%category%/%postname%/.

      For that you need little bit knowledge in HTML/CSS or you can hire developer from freelancer or guru.
