id summary reporter owner description type status priority milestone component version severity resolution keywords cc focuses 29669 Static base in permalink_structure unexpectedly sets $wp_rewrite->front value danielbachhuber "When I use a permalink structure like `/story/%post_id%/%postname%/`, the author and date URLs inherit the same `/story/` base (e.g. `/story/author/danielbachhuber/`). I'd expect my author and date URLs to remain unchanged, unless I explicitly specify a base. There appears to be some crude `%post_id%` conflict resolution for date which forces this. It's not clear why the `front` value is applied to `author_structure`. This code is 9 years young (#2433), so probably too late to make a breaking change. It would be nice to have a filter around `$wp_rewrite->front` in `$wp_rewrite->init()` so I don't have filter both rewrite rules and links." enhancement new normal Future Release Permalinks normal needs-patch
