Yeah.. The answer is to have a number be the first variable field of your permalink structure. I wanted mine to be /blog/%category%/%post_name% but that doesn’t work. I had to change it to be /blog/%year%/%month%/%day%/%post-name%. However that makes the urls much longer then someone may wish.

You just have to make sure that the first variable in the permalink structure is a number and not text.

hey, nice post! I wanted my permalinks set like yours. I also have my blog in a blog/ folder but pagination is broken. It goes to [root]/blog/page/2/ where as [root]/page/2/ is working.

Any ideas how to fix this so pagination works with the /blog/ folder in the url?

Great post – I’ve been setting /blog as the blog post directory but hadn’t thought to set the tag, category, & permalinks as you did – thanks for the help.

You aren’t alone, not having all of my blog’s contents under /blog really bugged me too. This is just what I needed, thanks!
