 * Hey,
    I made one parent page and a lot of subpages. And made a dropdown menu 
   out of it. The parent page is empty and i want to use it just as a placeholder,
   because i then get a nice linke. For instance, i get the link parent/item1 . 
   Now how can i restrict any access to the parent page so the user cant open it
   by clickin it or using a direct link to it?
 * Or can you do the same thing in some other way?
    Since wordpress creates links
   depending on the names of your pages i want to have word in the link that defines
   where the user is at. For example if he is in the product page it would be webpage/
   product/item1.
 * Even though the “product” page does not exist.
 * I hope you understand what i want to ask. I saw a lot of posts similar to this,
   but even if i restrict the access through the menu, anyone can get to that page
   by just using the link directly to it.
 * Thanks in advance
