So, you want to remove the date from your WordPress post URLs? I get it. Those /2016/07/09/post-slug URLs that seemed pretty cool when you (or someone else) set it up get old. The primary reason: when you update that post, what should you do? Leave it’s URL looking old? Move it to the new one and worry it’ll break. These concerns are why we use the “Post name” option for WordPress permalinks here at WPShout and encourage most of our clients to do the same.
