  Is there a way I can delete time/dates from my site? I am submitting a writing sample to an editor, and while the sample is a relevant piece, it’s also an old piece. I’d like to remove dates altogether, if possible. Thank you!

  Hi there,

  By default all blog posts on WordPress.com sites show the date in the permalink. For example: https://pattipalmer1.wordpress.com/2020/04/04/a-horse-is-a-horse-of-course-of-course-3/

  This can be removed if your site is upgraded to our Business Plan, but advanced customization like that is not possible on free sites.

  Instead you may wish to change the date of your post to be something more recent, which you can do by following the steps here: https://wordpress.com/support/schedule-a-post-or-page/#backdating

  You can edit the post settings to reflect any date you wish, and that will be shown on the blog so it does not appear as if it’s an older article.

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
