  Hi,

  I’m looking to host my blog with the “Aquene” design. At the moment, when I post a blog post, it lists it under a category tag but it isn’t actually added to that category in the URL structure. Ie. it just appears as /2018/01/01/blog-post. With the “Aquene” design, if I wanted to post an article under a category “trends” that has its own category page, will it appear as /trends/blog-post/? Is it possible with any design? I would like to know before I buy!

  Thank you.

  What you are thinking of is changing the Permalink structure, and it is not possible to have the permalinks take on a structure other than with the date on WordPress.com hosting. This can be done using WordPress.org software on another host.

  Check out the differences on the page here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  This is not a theme function, and so the Aquene theme upgrade won’t change this. Hope that helps to clarify!

  Thanks for clearing that up. Does that mean I can’t use any pre-made wordpress themes to achieve this if I want to host on another provider?

  This isn’t something related to themes, and you’d want to change the permalink structure. If you want to do that, you’ll want to visit WordPress.org to learn about that software.
