Add blog to URL

[devongroup]

Hello I have a static home page, then a blog page set to template "blog"

When I click on the blog page the url is site.com/blog

BUT when I click on the blog post it goes to http://www.site.com/blog_title!

How do we add blog into the URL of single pages? The client 100% requires it and I am at a lost and burning time fast, thanks in advance.

You need to change your Permalink structure.

ok so you are saying http://www.site.com/blog/%postname%

I did this and it works great but I had custom post type and taxonomies that it added blog/ in front of too so after research when registering a CPT or TAX for the rewrite(url) I did:

'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'custom_post_type_name/', 'with_front' => false),

and it takes out blog bc/ it goes back to http://www.site.com/ for example http://www.site.com/promotions/

Thanks for this! Is this how you would accomplish this or do you have a simpler approach?

As a side note I was worried changing the permalink structure would change general page url's as well for example site.com/page and make it site.com/blog/page but this seems to only change posts and custom post types which is a good thing in my case.

So do you have this resolved now?

Yes all single posts appear with blog/ in front, then making sure all CPT's and TAX's are registered w/

'with_front' => false), so blog does not appear in the URL for these.

Seems to be working thanks I would say it is resolved.
