  Is it possible to remove the date from the address bar permalink (for posts).
  Dashboard/posts/permalink only lets me change the permalink name AFTER the date for posts.

  I.e https://ppstaking.com/2017/03/23/professional-poker-staking/
  should become https://ppstaking.com/professional-poker-staking/

  I assume this might be a theme issue?
  I have CSS editor if some code will do it.
  Thanks

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

  Hi there,

  To change the permalink structure for a WordPress.com site you need to have the Business Plan and have plugins installed on your site. It is not possible to change the permalink structure on any other plan.

  CSS only affects the appearance of your theme. It cannot be used to change the way the software works.

  You have just cancelled the Business Plan on your site, so there’s no way for you to edit the permalink structure on your site.

  If you want to purchase Business again, please start a live chat with us after buying the plan, and then we can help you with this. If you own a plan you can start a live chat here:
