Getting pages by name

yes, it’s called permalinks.

https://your.site.tld/courses

(if that’s what you mean).

Peter

Thanks, that worked a charm. I have another dilemma now: mysite.com/courses/ will load the courses page – If the user specifies mysite.com/courses/1 (1 being the post id) it should load a page displaying just that post. How can I do this ?

courses is a category?

Peter

Its a page ??

Are those individual courses pages as well?

In that case you should create them as sub pages of the courses page.

Look for an example here: https://www.boosten.org/books and then click one of the books and watch the url.

Peter

Courses page displays all courses. courses/1 will display the first course as noted on the link you provided. I dont know how to do that though. The closest I came to it was to create another page called course and then sub it under Courses and use that to process single course requests. The url turns out to be:
mysite.com/courses/course/1

Do you know of any way I can get rid of the ‘course’ and just keep it as courses/1 ?

change the slug of that page to 1.
