  I can’t Edit or add links. The option isn’t there.

  Exactly which links are you referring to?

  Why do you wish to break the links by editing them?

  Are you referring to permalink structure? Permalink structure cannot be changed on sites hosted by WordPress.COM. They can only be changed on wordpress.ORG software installs.

  Every wordpress.COM published post has a URL that contains the date of publication and that structure cannot be changed to eliminate the date.

  Example: https://friendsofwalt.com/2017/04/24/getting-more-out-of-webinar-series/

  If you do edit a post and change the date stamp then the URL changes to reflect that. The first link will be broken and no matter where it appears on the internet including in search engine results when it is clicked it will result in a 404 page not found error.

  @tmotto1, did the links that @timethief provided help you with this issue or are you still not able to edit links?
