    You can create tidy urls like that using permalinks”. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

    Then you assign “parents” to pages to organise them. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Organizing_Your_Pages

    Doing those two things creates a site structure like the one you asked about.

    Using the permalink solved my problem. Thank you.

    Now that the sites and the structure below is created, I am not sure how to create a content creator for each site. I’ve been looking through the documentation and I could not find anything that could solve the problem. I looked at the doc https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
    and I am not sure how I can create an content creator admin for each site (create/delete posts/pages/calendars) for each site

    http://wp/HR
    http://wp/Finance
    http://wp/Legal

    Thanks in advance.

    I have no idea what you mean by a “content creator”.

    If you’ve already installed WordPress then you can create posts and pages, and if you’ve also installed a suitable plugin you can create calendars.

    Also not sure why you’re referring to “each site”. You only need a single website, with a single WordPress installation.

    You said you’ve figured out permalinks. Can you confirm that you’ve been able to assign parents to pages to create the url structure you want?

    If so, you should be able to create additional pages within those sections.

    If not, what’s the url of your website? And at what point are you getting stuck?

    Yes, this is s single site with permalink and parent pages.
    So I was able to create site with permalink like the structure below with posts & pages underneath each of the sites. Now, I want to be able to assign a user to add/modify/delete pages & posts for each site below.

    http://wp/IT
    (user to manage IT posts & pages)
    http://wp/HR
    (user to manage HR posts & pages)
    http://wp/Finance
    (user to manage Finance posts & pages)
    http://wp/Legal
    (user to manage Legal posts & pages)

    Thanks

    Aha. When you said “content creator” you meant a person who can edit that section of the website. Sorry, see what you mean now.

    WordPress out-of-the-box doesn’t have a simple way for you to give a user editing permissions for only a specific section of the website.

    So you’ll need a plugin.

    Suggest you research WordPress plugins for “roles” and check out a few. I probably can’t advise any further because this isn’t something I’ve done before. Anyone else got a recommendation?
