Blog post links give "nothing found" error

Running WordPress 4.9.6, Enfold 4.4.
Up until now, our site hasn’t had a blog: we just have various pages with info about our business (and we have our landing page intentionally not set as the place to show posts, since our site isn’t primarily a blog). However, I’m trying to set up a blog component, but can’t get it to work well.

Created a Blog page , dropped in the Blog Posts element, and set the theme so that the Blog page is where we want to show posts. All seemed well.

Created a post and published it. Shows up fine on the blog page, but when you click the post itself, it takes you to the “Nothing Found” page, not the post. I go into the post editor and click the post’s permalink; this also takes you to the “Page Not Found” page.

Something I noticed on the Edit Post page is that the permalink defaults to https://ourwebsite.com/post-title, not https://ourwebsite.com/blog/post-title. When I manually try to type in the “blog/post-title” it saves as “blog-post-title”, so that doesn’t seem to be a viable workaround.

Any help on how to fix this would be appreciated!
