    I am at my first experience with wordpress and I don’t have any experience with it.

    In the WordPress Medias I putted some pdf files.
    Every of this files have an URL, like this example:

    Click to access &

    The problem is that WordPress generate an URL with the date in it (2018/07).

    This lead to a problem: If I update the file with the same name one month or year later, the URL will not be the same anymore.

    I need an URL that is FIXED and not time dependant.

    I have some QR codes that are static (that redirects to a fixed URL code) and they are needed to download the pdf files once scanned.

    I was looking for something like this:

    Click to access &

    Is it possible to erase the date prom the generated URL of the medias?

    I altro tried to look in other blog pages and i’ve seen that in Settings –> Media some of them showed that there is an option called ‘Organize my files into month- and year-based folders’

    The problem is that there is no such option on my media settings.

    I Thank you very much in advance for your help and avaiability.

    Hi there,

    WordPress is different from WordPress.com (Here is the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/). This forum provides support in WordPress.com sites. If you have a self-hosted WordPress site then you may consider looking at this support page to get the solution to the queries related to your self-hosted WordPress sites: https://wordpress.org/support/

    Hence, we need to know if you have a WordPress site or a WordPress.com site. The solution for both kinds of sites is different. Also, the platforms for posting the queries will be different. Therefore, I request you to first share your website URL as it helps the community member to offer better assistance.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Thank you for the quick response!

    The website URL is the following:

    https://blog.hslu.ch/blogmaschinentechnik/

    Correct me if I’m wrong:
    I the link you sent me in order to know the difference between com vs org there is the following sentence under .org websites “Install plugins to extend your site’s functionality”.

    As I look in the menu bar in the wp admin page I see I have the Plugins option.
    That means I have a self hosted WordPress site?

    Self-hosted is our way of saying that the site is not hosted here at WordPress.com, but on a different web host using the opensource software from WordPress.org.

    I looked and it appears your web host is Switch
