  Hi,
  I would really like to remove the date part in the url. Is that possible? Now the url is http://travellinn.net/2015/03/01/the-ancient-city-of-polonnaruwa/, but I would like it to be just http://travellinn.net/the-ancient-city-of-polonnaruwa/.
  Please advice.
  Best regards

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

  Unfortunately the date part of the url ( aka Permalink) is not editable on WordPress.com so we have to live with it.

  But if I add a new page (like About), it comes without the date. I know these are two different things, but as it is possible there, should it not be possible for the posts as well?
  I am obviously not an expert, so just a thought.

  Yeah, post and page are different things. The URL for a post includes the date the post was published.

  Please check this support document to understand the difference between them: https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  No worries, your question is valid :-)
