I have installed a directory base multisite in the localhost and create two subsites. The URL's are looking like as follows:

• Root Site: http://localhost/mcqacademy/
• Subsite for English: http://localhost/mcqacademy/en/
• Subsite for Bangla: http://localhost/mcqacademy/bn/

Now I am thinking to update the permalinks. I opened the permalinks page in the root site (http://localhost/mcqacademy/wp-admin/options-permalink.php)

Problem is I don't understand why the URL structure is showing like http://localhost/mcqacademy/blog/ instead of http://localhost/mcqacademy/

Note: When I am in the root site theme and use the following code:

$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$url = get_author_posts_url( $user_id );

Return me the http://localhost/mcqacademy/blog/author/admin/ url.

I think the URL should be http://localhost/mcqacademy/author/admin/.

On the other hand, When I am in the en subsite theme and use the following code:

$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$url = get_author_posts_url( $user_id );

Return me the http://localhost/mcqacademy/en/author/master/ url. Which is the expected output!!

Thanks in Advance! Let me know your suggestions ...

Got a solution at - https://isabelcastillo/remove-blog-slug-multisite

In the root site of my directory base multisite, I went to Settings -> Permalinks.

Then I change my permalink.

Then go the Network Admin -> Sites -> and clicked on Edit

Then switched to Settings tab -> Now remove the blog text from Permalink Structure and saved.

This is not recommended. If you do this on the main site of your network, you must make sure that none of your posts, categories, or tags have a slug equal to the slug of a subsite. That would cause a conflict.
