 * If you just want to have a directory structure for your normal WordPress posts,
   you can create a custom permalink structure. Just type something like this in
   the box on the permalink page: blog/%post_name%
 * This will show all your posts with the /blog/ prefix and then display the name
   of the post.
 * If you want to do this in addition to your normal posts, then you will need to
   use custom post types. Custom post types allow you to define the slug that appears
   in the URL just before the title of the post. Here is more info:

 * Even though you mention custom posts, I’m assuming you want ‘seo’ and human friendly
   post title urls, which can be configured from the ‘Permalinks’ menu link:

 * [@joe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joe/) : i have already configured 
   my links ( /%postname%/ )
 * [@woodent](https://wordpress.org/support/users/woodent/) : I already read that
   page, but I don’t think that helps me
 * i want to add content to that custom pages
 * [http://example.com/postname/](http://example.com/postname/)
 * [http://example.com/postname/](http://example.com/postname/)**description**
 * [http://example.com/postname/](http://example.com/postname/)**images**
 * [http://example.com/postname/](http://example.com/postname/)**something**

 * Custom post types will allow you to do what you are describing (*for posts*).
   For example, lets say you created a custom post type called ‘items’. You use 
   the slug ‘items’ for that post type and create three new posts: ‘item-1’, ‘item-
   2’, ‘item-3’.
 * This is how the url structure would play out:
    [http://example.com/items/item-1/](http://example.com/items/item-1/)
   [http://example.com/items/item-2/](http://example.com/items/item-2/) [http://example.com/items/item-3/](http://example.com/items/item-3/)
 * You could then create a page that uses the /items/ slug and has a template that
   displays all the items you create.
 * **If you want to achieve this with pages instead, you can simply create a page
   using the ‘items’ slug, then create sub-pages. The URL structure will play out
   the same way.**
