I'm working on a WP website with many CPTs and Custom Taxonomies, but also using the regular "post" post type for the regular blog section of the site.
I want the blog posts and archive and categories to have /blog/ in their permalink, but also want to specify permalink structure for the other CPTs without the /blog/ interfering.
for example: I have an "events" CPT, which has a custom taxonomy named "ecat".
Now I got an archive page with permalink sitename/events working well
And the single event page has permalink like sitename/events/event-name as well.
But the custom taxonomy archive is in sitename/ecat/ategory-name. I want the custom taxonomy to have the cpt slug in its permalink like: sitename/events/ecat/category-name
Note: I don't want the single event to have the taxonomy term in its permalink.

Reset to default 0Welcome to WP StackExchange! You may want to try something like this, which uses the same rewrite setting as your register CPT:
$args = array(
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'events/ecat', 'with_front' => false)
);
register_taxonomy( 'ecat', array( 'events' ), $args );

Prefix for post type post
Here you will find how to add prefix only for post type "post".
In the same way, you can add a prefix for the category. Suitable filter hooks are: category_rewrite_rules, pre_term_link.
add_filter( 'pre_term_link', 'se342399_pre_term_link', 20, 2 );
add_filter( 'category_rewrite_rules', 'se342399_category_rewrite_rules', 20 );
function se342399_pre_term_link( $termlink, $term )
{
// add prefix only to links for terms of taxonomy "category"
if ( $term instanceof \WP_Term && $term->taxonomy == 'category' ) {
$termlink = '/blog' . $termlink;
}
return $termlink;
}
function se342399_category_rewrite_rules( $category_rewrite )
{
if ( is_array($category_rewrite) )
{
$new_rules = [];
foreach( $category_rewrite as $k => $v) {
$new_rules[ 'blog/' . $k ] = $v;
}
$category_rewrite = $new_rules;
}
return $category_rewrite;
}
CPT slug before taxonomy ecat
To add slug of custom post type as prefix in term links of ecat taxonomy you can use one of the following methods:
add rewrite to
$argsparameter ofregister_taxonomy()(as @Tom suggested)"rewrite" => array( 'slug' => 'events/ecat', 'with_front' => false, )or follow as in the case of categories, using hooks
ecat_rewrite_rules({$permastructname}_rewrite_rules) andpre_term_link
