Permalink Problem

    Hi there,

    I have a problem with the permalink structure on my website. I’d like the structure to be like this: http://www.website.com/exhibitions/current (i.e. have the permalinks structure set to custom with /%category%/%postname%/). However, this of course means that the “exhibitions” needs to be listed as the parent page of the site “current”. The problem is that the “exhibitions” page in the navigation bar is not really a page, but I have it set to a non-clickable menu item (i.e. with a # instead of a real URL). Since it is not a page, that means that I cannot assign the “exhibitions” as the parent page to the site “current” and therefore cannot achieve the permalink structure that I’m going for. Is there any solution for that?

    Thank you!

    Hi, @moumine.

    If exhibitions is supposed to be the category name and current is supposed to be the postname (according to that structure you’re setting), then unfortunately, the rest of your question isn’t quite making sense to me (because you’re also referring to “exhibitions” as a page, and “current” as “the site”).

    So can you elaborate a little more on which thing is actually supposed to be what in this case?

    Thank you for the quick reply! I realize now that I didn’t make things very clear in my first post, so I’ll try again:

    Basically, I have a navigation bar with one of the menu items being “exhibitions”. This is not a page but rather a non-clickable menu item that displays the submenus (or subpages) on hover, one of them being the page “current”. When I click on “current”, the link right now just shows as “www.website.com/current”. This is because right now, the page “current” does not have a parent page. Now I’d like it to be “www.website.com/exhibitions/current”. If I understand the whole parent-page issue correctly, I would have to assign the “exhibitions” as the parent page of “current” in order for it to be displayed like that. This is of course not possible since “exhibitions” is simply a non-clickable menu item and not a page. I was wondering if it was still somehow possible to have the structure set to “www.website.com/exhibitions/current”.

    I hope this makes more sense!
