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.
