  Hello!
  I have a problem.
  I want to change my permalink structure into only the post name (now it’s name and date) but I can’t find where I can change it. Under settings there is no permalink.
  Can someone please help me?
  Sorry, my English is not the best. I am German. Hope you understand what I mean.
  Regards, Maike

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

  Hi there,

  Apologies, but you cannot change the permalink structure on sites that are hosted by WordPress. If you’d like to set up a site that will allow you to access this feature, you must use a self-hosted WordPress.org blog.

  Thanks,
  KC

  You can use CSS editing to remove the date and the time from the blog posts but that will not remove the datestamp from the URL. Every post URL contains the date of publication embedded into the URL. You can only edit the posts title slug. See:

  If you want to use CSS editing to remove the date and the time from the blog posts only and not the URL then read on.

  See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable Premium bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ that contains a custom design upgrade required for CSS editing:

  Note that once you have the required upgrade you can use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can create a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need with CSS editing.
