admin - Permalinks Question: Adding a prefix ONLY in front of the posts

I want all my posts to have /ARTICLES/%post-name% structure.

But as soon as I modify the custom structure to that, for a reason that beats me, wordpress adds the articles prefix across the board.

So I end up with urls like this for my category pages with something like the following

mysite/articles/category/videos

here the videos is a category and since I did not change the category to anything else, I was expecting the urls to be well, mysite/category/videos ), not mysite/articles/category/whatever Obviously, such a URL does not make sense.

On the permalinks screen, under the Common Settings's Post name option, I get a grayed out ( uneditable ) sample link that shows something like mysite/sample-post.

I wished I could have edit that grayed out info

to mysite/articles/sample-post while keeping the other options as is.

But this does not seem to be possible.

Am I at a dead-end here?

Is there a way to only change the post urls without effecting the other urls?

• That only takes care of the CPT urls. My problem is on category pages's URL. – Average Joe Commented May 17, 2012 at 20:08
• Custom permalink structure with a prefix just for posts – nmr Commented Apr 5, 2019 at 11:40

1) Add this rewrite at the end of you function.php

function add_rewrite_rules( $wp_rewrite )
{
    $new_rules = array(
        'YOUR_PREFIX/(.+?)/?$' => 'index.php?post_type=post&name='. $wp_rewrite->preg_index(1),
    );

    $wp_rewrite->rules = $new_rules + $wp_rewrite->rules;
}
add_action('generate_rewrite_rules', 'add_rewrite_rules'); 

function change_blog_links($post_link, $id=0){

    $post = get_post($id);

    if( is_object($post) && $post->post_type == 'post'){
        return home_url('/YOUR_PREFIX/'. $post->post_name.'/');
    }

    return $post_link;
}
add_filter('post_link', 'change_blog_links', 1, 3);

2) Go to Settings > Permalinks and click Save Changes.

Wordpress puts "/category/" by default as the category base in the permalinks even for a category page.

You have to change your custom permalink structure to:

/%category%/%postname%/

Put "articles" in the category base field and your permalinks for example at category page "Videos" will display in this form:

mysite.com/articles/videos

It won't work with post's permalinks thought as "articles" parts will be omitted from the permalink like this:

mysite.com/videos/postname

The WordPress SEO Plugin by Yoast has a section called permalinks where you can strip the category base (usually /category/) from the category URL.

<?php
/**
 * Add new rewrite rule
 */
function create_new_url_querystring() {
    add_rewrite_rule(
        'blog/([^/]*)$',
        'index.php?name=$matches[1]',
        'top'
    );
    add_rewrite_tag('%blog%','([^/]*)');
}
add_action('init', 'create_new_url_querystring', 999 );
/**
 * Modify post link
 * This will print /blog/post-name instead of /post-name
 */
function append_query_string( $url, $post, $leavename ) {
    if ( $post->post_type != 'post' )
            return $url;


    if ( false !== strpos( $url, '%postname%' ) ) {
            $slug = '%postname%';
    }
    elseif ( $post->post_name ) {
            $slug = $post->post_name;
    }
    else {
        $slug = sanitize_title( $post->post_title );
    }

    $url = home_url( user_trailingslashit( 'blog/'. $slug ) );
    return $url;
}
add_filter( 'post_link', 'append_query_string', 10, 3 );
/**
 * Redirect all posts to new url
 * If you get error 'Too many redirects' or 'Redirect loop', then delete everything below
 */
function redirect_old_urls() {
    if ( is_singular('post') ) {
        global $post;
        if ( strpos( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/blog/') === false) {
           wp_redirect( home_url( user_trailingslashit( "blog/$post->post_name" ) ), 301 );
           exit();
        }
    }
}
add_filter( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_old_urls' );

If you ended up here, because you have set a custom permalink prefix (for example: /articles/%postname%/) for your blog posts (which results in: yoursite.com/articles/lorem-ipsum-dolor), but it also gets applied to your custom post types too (resulting in: yoursite.com/articles/customposttype/dolor-sit-amet), the easiest and most conventional solution is to set the with_front argument to false on the CPTs.

If you are using ACF, you can find this in:
Edit Post Type -> Advanced Settings -> URLs -> Front URL Prefix (set this to false)
