I have an existing wp site that created with the default perm links (dynamic) and each post has date/time showing. I would like to know, how would I go about changing the perm links to custom %postname%.html and how I can turn off (remove) the date/time from each post.

    Just go into the permalink settings and change it > Settings > Permalink

    Before you do that, get Deans Permalink Migration Plugin to redirect automatically because if you don't, visitors from the old permalink links in Google or elsewhere will get a not found message.

      To answer your other question:

      Dashboard>>Appearance>>Editor>>Single Post (single.php?)

      You should find the date/time code in there, which you can then cut out

      Just took a look at one of mine:

      Written by <?php the_author() ?> on <a href="<?php echo get_day_link(get_the_time('Y'),get_the_time('m'),g et_the_time('d')) ?>" title="View all posts written on <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>"><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></a>

      Where you'd cut out:

      on <a href="<?php echo get_day_link(get_the_time('Y'),get_the_time('m'),g et_the_time('d')) ?>" title="View all posts written on <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>"><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></a>

      Assuming you are ok with author info

        Just for your future reference, next time you set up a WP site, just change the permalink structure before you make any posts - makes it easier :]

        Also, here's a tip directly from wordpress.org

        "For performance reasons, it is not a good idea to start your permalink structure with the category, tag, author, or postname fields. The reason is that these are text fields, and using them at the beginning of your permalink structure it takes more time for WordPress to distinguish your Post URLs from Page URLs (which always use the text "page slug" as the URL), and to compensate, WordPress stores a lot of extra information in its database (so much that sites with lots of Pages have experienced difficulties). So, it is best for the first structure tag to be a numeric one, such as /%year%/%postname%/. "

    I have activated Deans Permalink Migration Plugin and I am getting the following message when I click on one of the categories:
    Not Found

    The requested URL /adult-halloween-costumes/iron-man-2-adult-costume/ was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    Can you tell me what I need to do to resolve this error message?

    Thanks

    Thanks Johnny for your suggestion but the site was created by someone who is suppose to be a wp guru but apparently they are not as good as I thought they were. I will definately take your advise into consideration when ever I install any future wordpress sites as well as when and if I have someone else create the site for me.

    Thanks

    You can try by your WP permalink.
