   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();
     }
   }
