Use category base slug in posts’ permalink

I may be missing some vital detail in the question but here’s what I did to make this work. 

Settings -> Permalinks

Set the permalinks to…

/somePrefix/%category%/%postname%/

This will give you the following permalinks…

Blog Page     - domain.com/somePrefix
Category Page - domain.com/somePrefix/currCategory/
Single Page   - domain.com/somePrefix/currCategory/singlePost/

If you install some kind of plugin like Yoast you’ll be able to pick a “Primary” category for your permalink which is nice.
