WordPress Multisite -> subfolder installation -> remove /blog slug from root blog.

[karincom]

Thank you indeed for the work you are doing.
Being unable to find a way to replace the '/blog' slug in root domain, I am using a cron job to update the rewrite rules as work around ('/blog' to '/en').

SQL QUERIES

UPDATE bb_options
SET option_value=replace(option_value,'blog/','en/')
WHERE option_name = 'permalink_structure';

UPDATE bb_options
SET option_value=replace(option_value,'blog/','en/')
WHERE option_name = 'category_base';

UPDATE bb_options
SET option_value=replace(option_value,'blog/','en/')
WHERE option_name = 'rewrite_rules';

It is working beutifully in my site.

So, '/blog' slug is hardcoded for the root blog.
But... it is very easy to change, so, it should be easy to create such parameter.

REQUEST
Why not include such parameter in wp-config.php? At least for subfolders installation.
