  Hi,

  http://www.examplesite.com/05/05/2015/name is a post URL, and http://www.examplesite/name is a static page URL. You can’t change a post URL to a page URL, or vice versa. However, you can recreate the content of any post in a static page (or vice versa), using copy and paste — though images should be reloaded from the sources.

  http://www.examplesite/category/name is a category page, or more explicitly, the category “name” post archives page of the example site. It will be created automatically when you assign the category “name” to one or more posts. However, if your intention is to replace a post named “Name” with a static page named “Name,” then there will be no category page of the same name.

  The information I’ve provided applies to WordPress.com sites. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are different versions of WordPress, with different support forums. See the WordPress.com and WordPress.org support page.

  This forum is solely for issues regarding WordPress.com accounts and websites. If the site you are seeking support for is a self-hosted WordPress.org site, then please resubmit your request to the WordPress.org support forums.

  I have got wordpress.com as site. Not a blog. But I would like to delete 05/05/2015 in my URL path. Or replace it and minimalize to only /05/ but replace to my own word.

  Replace
  http://www.examplesite.com/05/05/2015/undersite

  to

  http://www.examplesite.com/games/nameofgame

  or http://www.examplesite.com/nameofgame

  OK! I think I’ve found it. Seetings —> direct URLs. I can change and make own name of URLs.

  Thanks!

  You’re welcome! However…

  I have got wordpress.com as site.

  Having a WordPress.com site is not sufficient. There’s no “Settings —> direct URLs” menu option on a WordPress.com site. So, you’re in the wrong forum.
