 * Hey guys,
 * I would like to know how i can set up a custom url structure (with a clean wp
   installation) like this:
 * |-Home (/ or /home/)
    |-Blog (/blog/ – listing articles) |–Blogpost #1 (/blog/
   blogpost-1/) |–Blogpost #2 (/blog/blogpost-2/) |–Category #1/ (/blog/category-
   1/) |–Category #2/ (/blog/category-1/) |-Imprint (/imprint/) |…
 * Home, Imprint.. are regular pages and this works fine. How can i realize the 
   separate blog url? I would like to run a portfolio site with wordpress and separate
   the blog posts under /blog#1/bla/ or /blog#2/fewfew with the aid of custom_post_types.
 * Thanks!
 * cheers

 * You need to create a page, called Blog, that houses and displays all of your 
   blog posts.
 * Then go to ‘Tools > Permalinks’ and use the second to last option (Post Name),
   or set up your own custom structure which will use that format.

 * Hey Evan,
 * Your solution i tried this afternoon. Unfortunately it works only with ONE blog.
   If i use more than one blog (register_post_type) I get in trouble!
 * I tested the “Enhanced Custom Permalinks” Plugin and register a custom_post_type.
   WordPress set the global permalink structure as root and set up a permalink structure
   like this: /blog/blog-2/. If i changed the structure directly in my database 
   tables to /blog-2/, nothing works anymore and i get a 404 error no matter which
   link i visit.

 * So you’re registering your own custom post type, named blog?
 * How many post types are you registering?
 * Also, custom post types (after being created) need a permalink refresh. Just 
   go into your permalinks and hit save again.

 * Nope, **blog** referenced with **/blog/%postname%/** to the **regular post-type**
   that came with the wordpress installation and **blog-2**, **blog-3**… (names 
   are for example only!) are registered **custom_post_types**. I refresh the permalink
   structure unsuccessfully more than once after registering the custom_post_types
   in my functions.php.
 * _How many post types are you registering?_
    I do not know yet but if it works
   only with one **custom_post_types**, i can rule the world with thousands of separate
   blogs 😉
 * cheers
