function wpb_change_search_url() {
    if ( is_search() && ! empty( $_GET['s'] ) ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url( "/blog/" ) . urlencode( get_query_var( 's' ) ) );
        exit();
    }   
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'wpb_change_search_url' );

and the base url code

function re_rewrite_rules() {
global $wp_rewrite;
$wp_rewrite->search_base = 'blog';
$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
}
add_action('init', 're_rewrite_rules');

CodePudding user response：

What happends if you just remove or comment out your wpb_change_search_url() function?

CodePudding user response：

Have you tried to just remove this custom code? Wordpress by default uses ?s= in urls, and code used by you just rewrite it.
