  Hi! So, when I create a blog post, it automatically puts the date in the URL. For example: https://lolclt.wordpress.com/2016/09/09/its-just-a-dumb-game-says-man-whose-life-revolves-around-game/

  How do I change the setting to get the date out of the URL so that it just goes .com/title-of-article ???

  Thanks, Zach

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Sites on WordPress.com use the following Permalink structure:

  http://example.com/2014/10/21/sample-post/

  Sites on the WordPress.org version of WordPress can use other settings for Permalinks.

  The Permalink won’t change. You may have situations where you choose to use a shortlink. Read more about Shortlinks on WordPress.com here:

  This is the support forum for the WordPress.com version of WordPress. And here we cannot change the Permalinks setting.

  You may be thinking of the WordPress.org version of the software.
