How to add "blog" slug to wordpress posts?
php, wordpress
Solution
just go to your permalink settings make sure you have it set to custom and add "/blog/" in front of %post_name% this way you'll have "/blog/" in front of your structure, if you also use CPT make sure that you add 'with_front'=>false when you register them like this:
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'cpt_name', 'with_front'=> false ),
the way it works is: if your permalink structure is /blog/, then your links will be: if with_front = false permalink: /news/ if with_front = true permalink: /blog/news/
and the issue is that it defaults to true
the wordpress codex page that has this info is here
what you also have to note is: If registering a post type inside of a plugin, call flush_rewrite_rules() in your activation and deactivation hook (see Flushing Rewrite on Activation below). If flush_rewrite_rules() is not used, then you will have to manually go to Settings > Permalinks and refresh your permalink structure before your custom post type will show the correct structure.
