Blog post URL format

There are a couple of posts on this from before. Each one tackles the problem differently, so you’ll have to see which one suits your use-case best.

One deals with the problem by getting you to create folders for the relevant dates:

Best way to add a post's date to the URL slug

Hello, Great work with Grav—it’s my favorite system I’ve tried by far—and I’ve tried them all. I’ve been racking my brain for the last hour trying to figure out how to add a post’s date to the slug used for the post’s URL (or permalink). Currently, I am using the Cacti theme, and am hiding the “/blog” folder structure so it doesn’t appear in the URLs. I am trying to create the following post URL format: mydomain.com/2016/09/03/my-post-title The only post I could find on the matter was this…

The other one shows how it is done with changes to the filename format (from what I can deduce):

Blog Permalink Format

Is it possible to structure the slug’s for a blog in the format /blog/YEAR/MONTH/DAY/title? That is, the blog is contained in the blog directory within pages, but it uses the same folder names as the Antimatter theme (eg. 2014-03-10-sample-post) for posts rather than a folder-hierarchy of /blog/2014/03/10/sample-post/.

If you just wanted to have the date in the URL and don’t need the folder structure, you could simply change the slug by clicking Options on the page (assuming you’re using the Admin plugin) and changing the Folder Name to something like 2020-03-15-here-is-my-dated-blog-post.
