How to change "Blog" to "Reviews" in Url?

Hi there,

what is slug of your Blog page ? Whatever you change that to will be displayed in the URL.

I assume it's "blog". Maybe this is an easy fix, but I'm just returning to wordpress after a hiatus. How do I specify the slug?

Hi Stephen,

Are all the posts on your site "reviews"?

If yes, you can edit the permalink on Admin Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks and set the base permalink to add /reviews/

Now if only some posts are reviews under the category "Reviews" and you want to change the URL of these reviews posts, you'll have to go w/ a bit of PHP like this one - https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/276000/post-url-rewriting-for-posts-with-certain-category/276581#276581

Example:

function reviews_permalink_post( $permalink, $post, $leavename ) {
    // Get the categories for the post
    $category = get_the_category($post->ID); 
    if (  !empty($category) && $category[0]->cat_name == "Reviews" ) {
        $permalink = trailingslashit( home_url('/reviews/'. $post->post_name . '/' ) );
    }
    return $permalink;
}

add_filter( 'post_link', 'reviews_permalink_post', 10, 3 );

function reviews_rule($rules)
{
  $newrules = array();
  $newrules['^reviews/(.*)$'] = 'index.php?name=$matches[1]';
  return $newrules + $rules;
}

add_filter('rewrite_rules_array','reviews_rule');

function flushRules(){
  global $wp_rewrite;
  $wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
}

add_filter('init','flushRules'); 

Thanks.

All of the posts are reviews, but then split into categories. I see now that if I click on a post, it doesn't show "blog" in the url. It only shows the category and post name in url. (domain.com/category/post-title)

So I guess the "blog" portion of url only shows on the main blog page? In that case it's not necessary to change, as I thought the url for a post would be domain.com/blog/category/post-title.

Thats correct /blog is only for the blog page.
If you need to change the permalink structure then its best to use an SEO plugin for that.
