How to add "blog" slug to wordpress posts?

Question

i am working on wordpress project that i have one diffuculty, i want to add "Blog" slug to blog posts

for example my current blog slug is like

http://www.abc.com/post

i want to make it like

http://www.abc.com/blog/post

i don't want to create custom post type i need to use existing ones

i have tried many solution such as changing permalinks to blog/%postname%

one solution worked for me

below is my code

add_action( 'init', 'my_new_default_post_type', 1 );
function my_new_default_post_type() {

    register_post_type( 'post', array(
        'labels' => array(
            'name_admin_bar' => _x( 'Post', 'add new on admin bar' ),
        ),
        'public'  => true,
        '_builtin' => false, 
        '_edit_link' => 'post.php?post=%d', 
        'capability_type' => 'post',
        'map_meta_cap' => true,
        'hierarchical' => false,
        'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'blog' ),
        'query_var' => false,
        'with_front' => false,
        'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'trackbacks', 'custom-fields', 'comments', 'revisions', 'post-formats' ),
    ) );
}

i have added this code to my functions.php and added slug to posts. but problem came when i clicked on particular post it will redirected to 404 page. and if i remove this code it i will redirecting to correct post.

need your suggesions.

Just calling your attention to wordpress.stackexchange.com (which you may not have seen yet); a moderator will probably move your question. — msanford
You could use an Apache rewrite rule to remove the /blog/ in the requests? — madebydavid

just go to your permalink settings make sure you have it set to custom and add "/blog/" in front of %post_name% this way you'll have "/blog/" in front of your structure, if you also use CPT make sure that you add 'with_front'=>false when you register them like this:

'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'cpt_name', 'with_front'=> false ),

the way it works is: if your permalink structure is /blog/, then your links will be: if with_front = false permalink: /news/ if with_front = true permalink: /blog/news/

and the issue is that it defaults to true

the wordpress codex page that has this info is here

what you also have to note is: If registering a post type inside of a plugin, call flush_rewrite_rules() in your activation and deactivation hook (see Flushing Rewrite on Activation below). If flush_rewrite_rules() is not used, then you will have to manually go to Settings > Permalinks and refresh your permalink structure before your custom post type will show the correct structure.
