Today, we’ll explain how to add /blog/ to the front of your single post URLs in WordPress. For example, let’s say your current post URL looks like this:
how-to-add-blog-in-front-of-your-single-post-urls-in-wordpress.
Now, you or your client might want it to look like this instead:
/blog/how-to-add-blog-in-front-of-your-single-post-urls-in-wordpress.
The good news is that this change is easy and can be made in just a few steps! Let’s walk you through how to make it happen.
