 * Ah, did I not mention that part, in my post above – [Remove /blog in url for root blog in wordpress 3.1 multisite installation](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ecsdave/replies/?output_format=md#post-1971776)…;
   =)
 * Oops!
 * Let me mention it here then…
 * Once you’ve found that the /blog is removed from your posts “live” permalink 
   structure, do NOT go back in and change/save it again. It’s already “fixed”.

   world over will applaud your efforts!

   404… 😉

 * Oh, and I probably should have, but didn’t (I am using post_id) replace /blog
   with something else in my permalinks…

 * Yes, indeed, on the permalinks option page, it STILL shows up (outside of the
   little box), but… As far as I can tell, it is NOT in the permalink at the top
   of a new posts editing page, nor is it there when the post (not page) is saved,
   and is live…
 * I may have left out a step, in my comment above, or I may not have… I really 
   don’t remember. I tried to comment all the steps as best I could recall. All 
   I know is that “for now”, the /blog is not on my new (or old) posts any more,
   and if you put /blog into the url yourself, it gets stripped, and there’s no 
   404. 😉

 * Well, I don’t know how, but I did it…
 * I used the [http://buddydev.com/http//buddydev.com/public-download/cc-remove-blog-slug-v-1.1.zip](http://buddydev.com/http//buddydev.com/public-download/cc-remove-blog-slug-v-1.1.zip)
   plugin, and as best I can remember, it did NOT appear to work.
 * Ah, the plot thickens…
 * Of course, I followed some instructions, somewhere, that said to copy your custom
   permalink structure from out of the little box, and save it somewhere, then select
   the default option, and save. This with the above plugin installed (as super 
   user/network admin) and activated.
 * The next step said to then put your custom permalink code back into the little
   box, and save again. I did that.
 * Tested the post links, still had /blog in them, and when deleting that string,
   got the “404”…
 * Okay, so I figured why keep this plugin, if it don’t work, right? So I go back
   to network admin, deactivate, then delete.
 * So, now I’m thinking I don’t want /blog in my url, so I’m guessing “pages” are
   the way to go (and some say that is so, but I’m not going to debate that here).
   So I go and copy paste the post, to a page. All is well…
 * Later on, after dinner, I come back to the blog, as the post/page wasn’t finished.
   Amongst doing other things, and still having the “Hello World” post in the list,
   I click on the view link (I had modified the post, instead of deleting and creating
   a new one), and voila, the /blog seems to have disappeared, and trust me, it 
   had been there before!
 * So, I ADD the /blog part back into the url, and… it gets stripped on hitting 
   the enter key, and the post loads. Wow!
 * I’m guessing I just fixed (or broke) something, and eliminated the /blog from
   my root multisite (3.1) blog… 😉
 * And, on further testing, the /blog is NOT in newly created posts…
 * Things that make you go Hmmmm…

 * Okay, I see that /blog/ is stuck in there…
 * I just changed over to a mu/multisite setup…
 * Can I change it to another term, other than blog?

 * I have the same problem, and it is not a plugin, it is a widget…
 * The tags vary in size, I’d like them to wrap to the next line,
    but cannot find
   the “css” to accomplish this.
 * Thanks in advance for any assistance.
