Parent Page for Organization BUT NOT IN URL.

    Trying to organize pages in my back-end.

    A “dummy” parent page would be perfect – but it shows up in the URL… (I want all my landing pages to appear together in the WP back-end for quick access)

    I tried to shorten the canonical URL to omit the parent – but that does not seem to work (please let me know if it should)

    Is there a way other than a plugin I can get this to work? Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you!

  • A child page will always have the parent’s slug in URL, just as a subfolder on your computer always has the parent folder in its path.

    If your only goal is to organize the pages in the backend, then don’t use parent-child relationships. Instead, several plugins can organize pages in virtual folders/subfolders.

    Note the keyword “virtual” here: these plugins don’t use WordPress parent/child relations, and they don’t create any physical folders on the hosting server. Their “virtual folders” are only to organize content in the dashboard.

    See Wicked Folders plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wicked-folders/

    Thanks George! (Definitley looking for “virtual” yes.) Appreciate the feedback and education. Exactly what I was looking for.
