Very helpful stuff, thanks!

Perfect solution. Easy way redirect all posts without affecting custom post types or having to manually 301. Thank you!

Can you please help me on this issue?

This breaks with paginated single posts (<!--nextpage-->), adding this to the rewrite function fixes it.

    //corrects inpost navigation without breaking archive pagination `bottom`
    add_rewrite_rule(
        'blog/([^/]*)(/[0-9]+)?/?$',
        'index.php?name=$matches[1]&page=$matches[2]',
        'bottom'
    );

Here is what I use:

1. Adds the blog/ path without affecting all other CPTS now and in the future.
2. Changes all labels to Blog
3. Converts post_tag to hierarchical because flat is annoying to deal with

Nice work! I read some people had trouble with post previews when adding this.

I got it working by changing two lines.

on L23 change if ( $post->post_type != 'post' ) to if ( $post->post_type != 'post' && $post->post_status != 'publish')

and L50 should change from if ( is_singular('post') ) to if ( is_singular('post') && !is_preview() )
