  Hi there, my permalinks are doing something weird.
  https://dreammoreblog.wordpress.com/2005/12/22/20051222india-and-white-twinkle-lights-html/

  According to WordPress, they SHOULD look like this:
  https://dreammoreblog.wordpress.com/2005/12/22/india-and-white-twinkle-lights-html/

  Why are those extra date numbers being added in the slug in the top permalink example?? I cannot figure out how to fix this.

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

  Hi there,

  That’s weird! You can correct this by editing the slug of the posts. Here’s how to do it:

  If this doesn’t work or you have more questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help!

  Thank you! But is there a way to edit all the slug formats at one time, rather than going into each post individually? That’s what I can’t find!

  There’s no way to change them all at once but you can use the Quick Edit feature to quickly change the slug on each post without opening it in the editor. This can be done through the WP Admin dashboard. Here’s a link to all your posts:
