• Hello, I am just trying to organize my html files that belong to the services topic in services folder. The website is hosted on hostinger with their wordpress enabled service (which means I never created any local files or folders. Now I just need to move all the “services” related html’s in services folder for SEO purposes. Is there a way to do this without downloading entire website then create folder then re-upload?

    For example for the current page for vestibular therapy is here : https://griesbachphysio.ca/vestibular_therapy/
    I want it to hopefully link like so:
    https://griesbachphysio.ca/services/vestibular_therapy/

  • From the look of your site, the ‘Services’ page and the services themselves are set up as pages. If that’s right it will be easy. You will need to edit each service page and set the parent page to ‘Services’. That will change the URL’s for each of the pages.

    Just remember to set up 301 redirects for each page when you make the changes. ??

    hello @catacaustic thank you for replying, I was wondering if there’s a way to create folders at all? What are your thoughts about WP file manager plugin or something more efficient?

    For page URL’s, you don’t create folders. The file managers won’t do this for you, and playing in the file system won’t do this for you either.

    The folders that you see in URL’s (like /services/servicename) are not actual folders. It’s a reference to the page, and it’s parent. So the pages list will look like this:

    Services
    —-Service 1
    —-Service 2

    The folder structure is the hierarchy of pages,not folders. ?? To set up “folders” in URL’s you need to assign the parent page and that is what will set the URL as you want it to be.
