Before learning how to remove the date from the URL of a blogger’s posts, let me tell you about some of its disadvantages so that you do not have problems later.
Disadvantages Remove Date From Blogger
If your blog is very old then you do not have to remove the date, if you do this, then your post which is ranked in Google will lose its rank and your traffic will also go away.
If you have started a new blog, then you can remove the date, but I will not suggest you to remove it and leave it as it is, it is better.
Deleting Date from Javascript means setting a redirection loop, you will only see that the date has been removed but the date is not to be removed, whatever is there in the blogger’s system will remain the same. Doing this can also affect your SEO.
