A client of mine has been messing with the permalinks in my WordPress site.

The Archives used to work, Now they dont.

I can see the URL needs to be : 2017/03

But when clicked, It produces the URL date/2017/03 – Which in turn throws a 404 error.

Is there a setting I can set in the Permalinks part of WordPress?

It’s currently set to postname : /sample-post/

Or is there anything I can make in the functions file to take away the word date from my URL.

My current code is as follows :

<ul class="gray-border" style="padding-top: 5px;">
        <?
        // Get Archives'
        $args = array (
        'type'  => 'monthly',
        'order' => 'DESC',
        'limit' => '6'
        );
        $archives = wp_get_archives( $args );
        ?>
</ul><!-- /.gray-border -->

This site brings in time tides also, So the permalinks have been slightly modified.
