I have been searching around but i cant anywhere find the answer to my question: How to change the post slug for all posts (and the categories etc.). Without affecting other pages/ custom post urls. So i want to change the url for default posts from:

url/postname > url/news/postname

Without affecting page urls and or custom post type urls. The only method i have so far found that achieved what i was looking for was:

http://wordimpress.com/how-to-add-a-custom-permalink-structure-for-only-the-wordpress-default-post-type/

add_action( 'init', 'my_new_default_post_type', 1 ); function my_new_default_post_type() { register_post_type( 'post', array( 'labels' => array( 'name_admin_bar' => _x( 'Post', 'add new on admin bar' ), ), 'public' => true, '_builtin' => false, '_edit_link' => 'post.php?post=%d', 'capability_type' => 'post', 'map_meta_cap' => true, 'hierarchical' => false, 'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'post' ), 'query_var' => false, 'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'trackbacks', 'custom-fields', 'comments', 'revisions', 'post-formats' ), ) ); }

By re-registering the post type. But this also has the side effect that it creates a second menu item on the left side of the admin panel called post. They both contain the same data though.

Hopefully somebody has an answer to this problem.

There is no need to reregister the default post post type. You can just add a prefix to the permalink structure using the Permalinks settings, found under the main Settings menu in your WordPress administration panel:

    Correct. The default WordPress pages will just use domain.tld/page-slug as they always do. Commented Jul 2, 2013 at 8:11
  • Yes that indeed did the trick. Thank you very much :) Commented Jul 2, 2013 at 8:53

    Make sure to set "with_front" to "false" on Custom Post Type initializations to avoid having the "blog" prefix on your Custom Post Types. Commented May 26, 2015 at 9:24

    Thx, Aternus. Also, after setting with_front to false, go to /wp-admin/options-permalink.php in the backend (just visit the page once) - this will call flush_rewrite_rules() after which the new links will work correctly Commented Nov 22, 2015 at 20:34
