Hi
Thanks for your reply.
I actioned the following:
Change the Articles URL format
If you are not using Articles or you are happy with the default you can skip this step.
Navigate to the Articles container and click on the Advanced Settings tab. At the bottom of this page is the Articles URL Format setting which has a default setting of:
%Y/%m/%d/%alias/
that produces URLs like:
http://www.mydomain.com/articles/2014/02/06/title-of-an-article/
Personally, I do not want the date as part of the URL and so I have changed it to:
%alias/
cleared modx cache and local cache went onto the blog home page and still the links show the date?
