Problem:
The client is concerned about using a custom permalink structure (/blog/%postname%/) with WPML and whether it will cause issues, given that WPML recommends using /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/ for permalink structures.

Solution:
We reassured the client that using the custom permalink structure /blog/%postname%/ should not cause any problems with WPML. WordPress supports the /%postname%/ directive well for all post types, and adding /blog/ simply prepends this to each post slug. For example, a standard post in English might appear as https://www.example.com/blog/hello-world/ and in Spanish as https://www.example.com/es/blog/hola-mundo/. Pages and custom post types will behave correctly too, with the language code consistently appearing right after the domain. We recommend testing any new configurations on a staging or development site before implementing them on a live site.
