Each post is assigned a permanent link automatically. You can set the format of these links on the dashboard. If you change the link of a post, its old link will redirect to its new link automatically.
| Example | Custom link format |
|---|---|
| /title-of-the-post | {{slug}} |
| /site/title-of-the-post | site/{{slug}} |
| /2017/10/3/title-of-the-post | {{YYYY}}/{{MM}}/{{D}}/{{slug}} |
