Hi
Thanks for contacting to us.
The issue you’re experiencing, where all dates are redirecting to /1970/01/…, typically indicates a problem with the way dates are being handled or generated in WordPress. The date 1970/01 is the start of the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970), and it often appears when there’s a date-related error, essentially signaling that the system is receiving a ‘zero’ or ‘null’ date.
Your permalink structure of just /%postname%/ shouldn’t inherently cause problems with date archives, but it might be contributing to the issue in conjunction with other factors. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and hopefully resolve the problem without changing your basic link structure:
Check Date Settings in WordPress:
- Ensure that the date and time settings are correctly configured in your WordPress settings (
Settings → General).
Regenerate Rewrite Rules:
- Go to
Settings → Permalinks and simply click ‘Save Changes’. This doesn’t change your permalink structure but refreshes the rewrite rules which might solve the issue if it’s related to a permalink flush problem.
Feel free to contact us for further assistance.

Hi Akhilesh for helping me out.
I am using j F Y as a date format. So this is what happens when I change the format:
j F Y : Linking to 1970/01
Y-m-d : Linking to Y/m (but I don’t have those pages, redirecting to home page which is OK for my side)
m/d/Y : Linking to Y/m
d/m/Y : Linking to 1970/01
For me, it is OK to not have dates as links. But I can’t say anything else for other theme users.
Thanks a lot! 🙂
Hello, is there any update regarding this “issue”? 🙂
Or is there a way to remove the date links?
