Post ID Showing Up in Slugs

Hi there,
My post ID numbers are showing up in my slugs/URLs and I don't want them to. Is there an easy way to accomplish this?
For example, new posts come up like this: sitename.com/1392/name_of_post. I just want the URL/slug to look like this: sitename.com/name_of_post.
Thank you so much!
Hi there,
can you check the structure you have in Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks.
Ah. It's set to sitename:/%post_id%/%postname%/
Can I just delete the %post_id% element? Will that screw up existing posts?
Thanks so much.
Select the Post name option from the list, and then click Save Changes which will rebuild your permalinks
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
