  Hi macmanx, thanks for following up.

  It on my own account http://yadfiles.wordpress.com/

  So if I access; <https://yadfiles.wordpress.com/wp-admin/&gt; and go to settings, I can’t see the option “Permalink“.

  Looking forward hearing from you soon. Thanks

  @yadfilesnow9062 got it. Yeah you wont’ be able to change the permalink settings for a free site on our servers.

  You can change the slug for an individual post or page, though. I can see this one has a permalink with a name in it.

  Hi supemovia, thanks for replying fast.
  What means “… change the slug for …”? You mean I can change the permalink manually for each post? If Yes, how to?

  You can change the last part of the post permalink. So for example, in https://yadfiles.wordpress.com/2019/06/18/check-out-my-archive-that-you-cant-ban/, you can change check-out-my-archive-that-you-cant-ban

  You do this from the Slug option in the post or page editor:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/slugs/

  Currently my permalinks shows with ID number

  If the links show with a post or page ID, it means you published the post or page without giving it a title. If you make sure to give every post or page a title before you publish it, that title will be used as the permalink slug automatically.
