Pages have a different permalink structure, more like you are wanting. They would be out of the flow of Posts, and stand-alone. So instead of trying to make a Post do something it’s not designed to do, you use something that is set up that way: Pages.
You can put whatever you like in front of post or page slugs as long as it does not match any rewrite rules, as long as the slug itself is correct. For example: example.com/gobledygook/hello-world/
Numbers and other post types will match rewrite rules, so don’t use those. All you need to do is filter permalink output so the extra /gobledygook/ is part of the URL. For pages, use the “page_link” filter. Unless you want to apply this to all pages, there needs to be something about the page which code can use to know which links to alter and which to leave as is. It can be a taxonomy term, post meta, something in the slug, whatever as long as there is something.
We have an administrative issue to resolve. You may NOT DM me in Slack or @ reference me in topics (or anyone else for that matter) to draw attention to one of your topics. Really. This is serious. It makes for favoritism and that cannot be allowed. It’s one thing to pass along sensitive information in a DM, it’s another to draw attention to particular topics. Don’t do it. I’ve no doubt you meant this as a friendly heads up and were not intending to draw favor. Everyone gets the benefit of any doubt the first time. Just don’t do it again and you will remain in good standing here.
