Don't Want Nested Pages to Be Children of Parent in URL

  • I downloaded this plugin mainly for the benefit of visually organizing my pages in the admin panel. I noticed that when I organized them, or “nested” them, it changed their URLs. Now that the pages that are so neatly organized in the admin panel, there are unnecessary parents listed in the URLs of my nested pages. I need to disable this.
    I went to the settings page and checked the box labeled “Disable Nesting**” and as the note read

    “**Important: Changing page structures on live sites may effect SEO and existing inbound links. Limit URL structure changes on live sites by disabling nesting. Sorting within the current nesting structure will still be available. If nesting changes are made to a live site, it may help to add a 301 redirect from the old location to the new one.”

    This did not fix my problem. Infact, checking this box did nothing at all. Am I missing something or does this plugin not provide the option to leave URLs unchanged? I feel like I could’ve nested pages with the default WordPress settings if I wanted children of parent pages. That is not why I downloaded this plugin.

    I appreciate your time and consideration. I hope to hear back soon. Thank you!

    P.S. I am using WordPress Multisite if this makes a difference.

    If you’ve already changed the page structure, disabling the nesting option isn’t going to undo that.

    You’ll need to enable nesting, reorder the pages, then disable it.

    From there, you’ll still be able to drag pages around, but not outside of their parent (so URL structures will remain intact).

    Mmmmmm. Ok, I misunderstood “disable nesting”. Now I understand that.

    So, there is no way to have visually nested pages in admin panel and also avoid any URL structure changes? No parents or children.
