[Resolved] Display defaut post’s post type slug in URL

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to change my site's default post permalink structure to be mysite.tld/%post_type%/%post_name%/

Solution: You can use the permalink structure settings in wp-admin > Settings > Permalinks to add some custom rewrite slug. Then in each custom post type's rewrite rules you can disable the "append to front" setting as needed.

Hello,
I was able to change the permalink structure for my CPTs, that are now mysite.tld/%post_type%/%post_name%/
But I can't find how to do it for the defaut post type.
Is this achievable with Toolset or WMPL ?
Thank you.

Are you talking about using a custom structure in wp-admin > Settings > Permalinks? See the screenshot here for an example.

Doing this affects all posts.
I only want to apply this to default "post" post type.
My own custom post types already have a working /cpt/post-name/ structure.

Yes, it affects other post types that have the option "Allow permalinks to be prepended with front base" turned on in the CPT post type options (see screenshot). You can disable that option for other CPTs, right?
