change “blog” in URL of single posts

Hi @dcottreau

What permalink structure are you using?

Hi @west7,

It’s currently set to “/blog/sample-post/”. In the optional section below, the ‘category base’ and ‘tag base’ have ‘/blog’ hard coded – meaning it cannot be changed. I had this set to “events” before but some update has changed it and I don’t know how to change it back.

Thanks.

Hi @dcottreau

So you might be using WP Multisite and your site is a single site on that multisite network. It adds /blog/ by default to the permalink URLs.

Or you are possibly using an SEO Plugin, which adds this.

Keep well

@west7 THANK YOU! I wondered if the multi-site set up had changed that but didn’t realize there was a settings area for each site.

For anyone in the future reading this, here is the fix:

From Network admin > Sites edit the site in question and got to the settings tab. Look for Permalink structure and change /blog/%postname% to /%postname% (adjust for your permalink structure).

I am very glad you got it sorted out!

Cheers! And thanks for your help.
