    You can change rules to rewrite your type of posting as well as change your structure. Imagine that your permalink structure is like:
    /locations/%k7_locations%

    you can switch to

    /test/%message%

    global $wp_rewrite;
$args = array(
    'with_front' => true,
    'ep_mask' => 3,
    'paged' => 1,
    'feed' => 1,
    'forcomments' => 0,
    'walk_dirs' => 1,
    'endpoints' => 1
);
add_permastruct( 'locations', 'test/%message/', $args);

    output:

    Array
(
    [with_front] => 1
    [ep_mask] => 3
    [paged] => 1
    [feed] => 1
    [forcomments] => 0
    [walk_dirs] => 1
    [endpoints] => 1
    [struct] => /test/%message/%
)

    To add a custom URL-/permalink-structure, this function must be called on every request (not only once). I usually do this in the ‘init’ hook.

    However, the related function flush_rewrite_rules() should only be called when the permalink structure changes.

    Sample:

    add_action( 'init', 'wpdocs_custom_permalink' );
function wpdocs_custom_permalinks() {
  // Register the permastruct and rewrite tag on every page load:
  add_permastruct( 'legal', 'legal/%my_slug%', [ 'ep_mask' => EP_PERMALINK ] );
  add_rewrite_tag( '%my_slug%', '([^/]+)', "post_type=page&name=" );

  // Only flush rewrite rules, if your permalink changed (e.g. on plugin activation):
  if ( $has_changed ) {
    flush_rewrite_rules();
  }
}
