Create an empty page with the slug blog. Go to Settings/Reading and set that page as Posts page. Go to Settings/Permalinks and set the URL pattern to /blog/%postname%/. That should do it.
An AJAX request is a new request to the server, and it is a request to admin-ajax.php. That is not a single post page. Any logic that depends on is_single() or any other page level template tags like it, won’t work. If your AJAX callback needs that sort of information you must pass it to … Read more
The function get_the_time is only designed to work either in the main WordPress loop or a custom loop using WP_Query, so the way you are using it won’t work correctly. The following is the right way to use it, using a custom WP_Query loop: <?php // Get years that have posts $years = $wpdb->get_results( “SELECT … Read more
You are using get_the_content() wrong, it can’t take a ID, which is what get_option(‘page_for_posts’) does return, and generally gets the content of the current post inside the loop, in which it has to be used. To get the actual content of that page you can do: $page_for_posts_id = get_option( ‘page_for_posts’ ); $page_for_posts_obj = get_post( $page_for_posts_id … Read more

But it doesn’t have to. You can, if you want, display your … Read more
Untested, but try: <?php echo get_the_title( get_option( ‘page_for_posts’ ) ); ?> But it’s somewhat hackish. Really, the page_on_front and page_for_posts are intended to be nothing more than placeholders for the site front page and blog posts index page.
Posts are a broader category than they initially appear to be. The post is any content, even if you’re using WP as a CMS. While it might seem like a post is a blog post, really it’s anything you post on the site. Disabling it will kill all content. Better to turn off the various … Read more
I know this is an old question but I was having the same issue in a theme I inherited and came across this question in my search for answers. In my particular case, I found the following PHP code included in the theme’s function.php file: if( is_category() || is_date() || is_author() ) { global $wp_query; … Read more
