Is it possible to add a date prefix (like /2025/05/15/post-title) to blog post URLs in Wix?

Hi everyone,
I’m using Wix for my blog and I want to structure my blog post URLs to include the publish date—similar to WordPress URLs like:
mydomain.com/2025/05/15/post-title

I’ve checked the SEO settings where we can change the prefix (like /blog/), but I don’t see an option to dynamically include dates in the URL.

:backhand_index_pointing_right: Is there any way (via code, Velo, or advanced SEO settings) to add year/month/day in the blog URL slug on Wix?

Would really appreciate any insights or workarounds!

What You Can’t Do on Wix (Currently)

  1. Wix does not allow dynamic slugs for blog posts.
  2. There’s no built-in way (not even with Velo) to inject/yyyy/mm/dd/ into blog post URLs.
  3. Blog post URLs are always structured as:
    yourdomain.com/blog/post-title

Even though you can change the blog prefix (/blog/ to something else), you can’t customize each post’s slug format dynamically based on its publish date.

What You Can Do (Workarounds & Options)

  1. Manually Add Dates to the Post Slug
  2. Use Categories or Tags to Simulate Structure
  3. Use Velo to Build a Custom Blog

Recommended Option (Practical & SEO-Friendly)
Since full dynamic routing isn’t supported, the best compromise is:

Manually include dates in the slug like:
/blog/2025-05-15-post-title

This is SEO-safe, readable, and flexible — though not ideal for archive-style URL folders.

Want Help?

If you’d like:

  1. A CMS + Velo guide for building a custom blog with dynamic URLs
  2. Or a slug generator script that auto-appends the publish date
