What is the best practice to manage subdirectories in WordPress?
-
I have a website that is written use static html pages. It contains many URLs containing subdirectories like this:
https://www.example.com/product1/order.htm https://www.example.com/product1/error/error1.htm
Now I want to create a new website via WordPress and transfer all contents from the old website to the new one.
So I wonder what is the best practice to process all these URLs with subfolders.
Should I:
Keep the subfolders by using parent/child pages, like this:
https://www.example.com/product1/order.htm -> https://www.example.com/product1/order/ https://www.example.com/product1/error/error1.htm -> https://www.example.com/product1/error/error1/Or
Remove all subfolders, and chaning all URLs like this:
https://www.example.com/product1/order.htm -> https://www.example.com/product1-order/ https://www.example.com/product1/error/error1.htm -> https://www.example.com/product1-error-error1/Or using other methods?

Categories is the way to go. Here is another post explaining them

You might want to search for a plugin, that provide tabs. That way you could have your
https://www.example.com/product1/to land on a presentation page of the product and that page has additional tabs for ordering, technical details etc.
