• Hey,

    I want to edit the structure of my site so it has a hierarchy structure like so.

    home > data recovery services > hard drive recovery > maxtor > model b4333

    But right now the site just has home and then only goes 1 level deep when it should be 3-4 levels deep.

    What’s the easiest way to do this? As I know about html, css and basic design/Wordpress stuff but I have no idea how to edit my website structure.

    Any articles or ideas on how to do it?

  • There are a few options for this:

    home > data recovery services > hard drive recovery > maxtor > model b4333

    In the above example:

    data recovery services = Parent Page
    _hard drive recovery = Child Page
    __maxtor = Child of Child Page
    ___model b4333 = Child of Child Page
    Above uses the default Pages Menu.

    I prefer:

    data recovery services = Parent Category
    _hard drive recovery – Child Category
    __maxtor = Child of Child Category
    ___model b4333 = Post in Maxtor Category

    Above uses a theme with cat menu built in, or a theme that supports a custom menu.

    That’s perfect, thank you very much.

    Just to confirm everything is clear. Am I right in thinking when you say child page and child of child page, that is still just making the page above the parent page for the current page in the breadcrumb list/hierarchy structure?

    I’ve decided to just use the page based example you gave above, as it seems simpler and does exactly what I want.

    I am speaking of the menu setup…the default menu (may not be in your theme) is the Pages Menu….

    If your theme provides breadcrumbs or you are using a plugin for this, you need to ask them about how Pages and Child-Pages work with them…

    If you are using the default Pages Menu, create your main pages, these will be the parent pages…when you want a page to appear in the menu under a parent-page, you assign the child-page a parent-page…etc..etc..

    What I like about the cat style is all you have to do is assign a post to a cat and create a custom menu and it all falls together over time…
