How to: change permalink by category?

Open to admin dashboard > Settings > Permalinks, select “Custom Structure”, enter:

/%category%-%postname%/

and click “Save Changes”. Or, you might consider separating the two with a forward slash:

/%category%/%postname%/

Using the /%category%-%postname%/ custom permalink structure, the News category will show as /news-%postname%. For the Game category, since the name is different than the desired permalink, you can edit the category: leave the Name as “Game”, change the Slug to “play” and you’ll have /play-%postname%.
