Is there a way to add a new tag to an existing Post without changing it's URL in
-
So I added a new tag (snacks) to an existing post I created in WordPress.
The original post was:
http://www.test.com/2017/02/23/culinary-delights/
But after adding the new tag to my post the URL changes to:
http://www.test.com/2017/02/24/culinary-delights/
As you can see above, the date changes
Is there a way to keep the original date, not the date that the Post was retagged?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Unfortunately, the http://www.test.com/2017/02/23/ is a WordPress.com permalink structure. The only part of the url you have control over is the /culinary-delights/ part. Note, changing a post title after publishing will cause a 404 error in most search engines.
I am surprised that the permalink structure changed once you added a tag. I tested it on my blog and adding a tag did not change the link structure. Perhaps report this to a Happiness Engineer.

http://test111821.wordpress.com/ is a site hosted by wordpress.COM.hhtp://test.com is a is a wordpress.ORG software install on paid hosting hosted by Dosarrest Internet Security, not by WordPress.COM.
That site is not on our WordPress.COM servers. You are posting to the wrong support forum.
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, support docs and support forums, and many people get confused about the two.
The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
This is wordpress.COM support. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
(1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
(2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting
(3) sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/
Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpackHowever, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support. -
