Remove front from WordPress default taxonomy permalink structure

In WordPress,

I have the permalink structure like so:

example.com/blog/%postname%/

Which is what I want for my blog and posts, but this creates the default taxonomy permalink structure to be:

example.com/blog/category/slug-here/
example.com/blog/tag/slug-here/

Instead I need it to be without the front ('blog'), e.g.

example.com/category/slug-here/
example.com/tag/slug-here/

I'm using the default categories and tags on custom post types too, so I don't want the permalink to include the '/blog/' base.

Is this just a matter of setting with_front to false somehow for categories and tags?

Solution

  • Found the answer.

    In WordPress settings, under permalinks.

    When the category and tag base are empty they are set to a default structure, just add 'category' in the category base and 'tag' in the tag base.
