# ‘View Post’ button does not open expected URL

 * Hello. I currently have a live site at [https://www.mydomain.com](https://www.mydomain.com)
   and a private dev site at [https://www.mydomain.com/dev/](https://www.mydomain.com/dev/).
   Both are located on the same server. On my dev site, I am trying to use your 
   plugin to modify post permalinks. But I am encountering an issues. I will describe
   it.
 * I currently have a blog post with the title `blog-title`, and a permalink of `
   https://www.mydomain.com/dev/blog-title`. I would like to use your plugin to 
   ensure all blog posts have the word `blog` inserted into the permalink. So for
   example, I would like to change the permalink of my blog post to `https://www.
   mydomain.com/dev/blog/blog-title`. To do so, in Permalinks Customizer–>PostTypes
   Settings I have added `blog/%title%/` to the `Post` field ([screenshot](https://imgur.com/a/7XWVgQH)).
   I saved those settings, then opened the post in-question for editing, and clicked‘
   Regenerate Permalink’. If I then click the default `View Post` link provided 
   by WordPress ([screenshot](https://imgur.com/a/ws8qzzU)), the post opens with
   the new URL as expected (`https://www.mydomain.com/dev/blog/blog-title`). But
   if I instead click the `View Post` *button* provided by your theme ([screenshot](https://imgur.com/a/cqAu5nY)),
   then my browser tries to open a new tab with the URL `https://www.mydomain.com/
   blog/blog-title/`, and of course encounters a 404 error.
 * How can I resolve this?
 * Thanks.

 * [@cag8f](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cag8f/) Thanks for raising this 
   issue. Actually that’s only occurring due to having relative path in View button.
   so, it to open that URL on the main domain rather than sub-domain.
 * I have fixed this issue by adding the Full path in View URL so, it won’t happen
   again. It will be fixed for you in the upcoming release.
 * Thanks,
    Sami
