I contacted my host and they were able to achieve this for me. What they did was add a mod_rewrite rule to my .htaccess as follows:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Then I went back to the Permalinks option in my wp-admin and changed it to /%postname%/

The “impossible” was done.
(:

Bottom line is, if “some people managed to do it”, that means it can be done.

Anyways, to others that may bump into this topic, if you’re able to give me positive direction towards this, that does not include a redirection to that USING PERMALINKS link, I would greatly appreciate it.

I’ll contact my host and see what they say as well. If I receive any better advice from them to this, I’ll update this post which such.

Some people eliminate some or all of the date elements (day, month, year) to have a shorter permalink format. Note: mod_rewrite permalinks require Apache’s mod_rewrite module.

How can I do that? I know nothing about mod_rewrite nor Apache. I know it is possible to achieve this because I have seen blogs that use wordpress with their links like the way i am seeking.

Also please refer AGAIN to my original post:

I’ve searched high and low for a resolution to this and people keep referring others to Using Permalinks, when the answer is not there.

Sidenote: My frustration is with responders who just redirect you to something on wordpress codex that you’ve already thoroughly read thru. If you’re unable to assist, just do not reply.

And did you read my original post?

I said I do not want anything else there BUT postname.

I do not want post id.
I do not want category.
I do not want the date.
I do not want index.php.

I want my links to look like https://mydomain.com/POSTNAME

I have /index.php/%postname%/ because when I put /%postname%/, it gives me an error on my site.

So I need to contact my host and say what? They seldom give wordpress tech support so i want to know what it is i need to ask/tell them to have this edited for me.

Thanks gangleri.

anyone?

Yes, my domain is hosted on a Linux webserver & that doesn’t solve the issue.

The admin area is located at:

https://yourdomain.com/wordpressdirectory/wp-admin

If you didn’t create a folder for wordpress and installed it in your main domain area, then it’s:
https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin

Thanks Trained.
