  I’m trying to configure the permalink options but can’t find it under ‘Settings,’ the way I’m told it should be.
  Where is this option?
  Thank you,

  Hi there,

  There are no permalink options for WordPress.com sites.

  Permalink options are only available with the self-hosted version of WordPress from WordPress.org.

  To learn about the differences between the two versions of WordPress (.com vs.org), please see this guide.

  What if I’ve already created a WordPress.com site using a free template, and now want to upload it to my hosting site (Maine State LIbrary System). They are saying I have to use the “day and name” settings in the Permalinks Settings. But if that is not available with WordPress.com?

  They are saying I have to use the “day and name” settings in the Permalinks Settings.

  All posts on WordPress.com use the same permalink structure. The format is:

  example.com/year/month/day/post-name

  There are no options for custom permalinks at WorPress.com; those options are only available on the self-hosted version of WordPress.

  If you’d like to move to the self-hosted version, a guide can be found at:
