 * Hi. From 4 years ago that I started learning WordPress, I’m seeking for a solution
   to this bug:
    [http://uupload.ir/files/cby_wordpress-bug.jpg](http://uupload.ir/files/cby_wordpress-bug.jpg)
   You can never have a clean URL structure for your blog like this: mmirzaee.ir/
   blog/post-name/ . Why? Because all your posts and categories will be 404! (I’m
   not talking about past URLs. I mean new URLs are also 404!!! Yes It’s possible.
   Try yourself!) It will happens when you fill out “Category Base” property + adding
   sth before URL structure at form. fill out forms exactly like image please! .
   I’m using latest wordpress version (5.4.1) When I was testing this bug, no plugins
   were activated.

 * Single post: example.com/blog/post-name
    posts archive: example.com/blog/ category
   archive: example.com/blog/category-name/
 * Is the above what you are trying to achieve? This is a tricky problem. My fix
   only works for new posts. Set the permalink structure as
 * /blog/%postname%/
 * as in the screenshot: [https://imgur.com/a/ljmOwSc](https://imgur.com/a/ljmOwSc)
 * Then create a new category called “Blog” with slug “blog” and set it to parent
   of **all** categories
 * Whenever you create a new post you can assign any category except Blog and the
   permalink structure will work.

 * Hi there. I´m having an issue with the permalink to my homepage. It´s a dropdown
   menu, the 1st item is Home ([http://localhost/tema/home](http://localhost/tema/home))
   with the link above, then 2 items above, working well. But when I try to go back
   to the homepage, it doesn’t o anything. Can someone try to explain that to me,
   please? thank you.
