    Can I use a custom slug url for posts? ex. websitename/blog/blogarticle-name
    I am migrating a website over to themex. Right now we have a website where all the website pages are triumphmodular.com and a blog where all the posts live triumphmodular.com/blog

    Right now I have all my content in a wordpress installation running theme X, pages in the pages section and blog articles in the post section.

    WordPress 4.2.2 running X – Child Theme theme. X theme updated to 4.0.1, all plugins are up to date.
    Site running on temp server @ http://505.bd4.myftpupload.com/ until I get this straightened out and can go live.

    Can you give me advice? Thank you!!! Janet

    This is basic WP functionality and should not change when you change themes.

    If you go to Settings -> Permalinks you can set your permalink structure. Simply put /blog/%postname%/ in the custom permalink structure. This will show www.example.com/blog/post-name when listing your blog articles.

    I found this answer on this page towards the bottom (http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/19238/how-do-i-add-blog-as-a-prefix-to-permalink-structure-for-blog-posts-tag-pages)

    I hope this helps

    Hi Janet,
