 * Hello,
 * For reference, here is my website:
 * [http://moneythink.org/](http://moneythink.org/)
 * If you hover your cursor over the “About” menu label and then click on “Board
   of Advisers”, you’ll see the page load with the following URL:
 * [http://moneythink.org/advisers/](http://moneythink.org/advisers/)
 * To better reflect the site hierarchy, I’d like the URL to be:
 * [http://moneythink.org/about/advisers/](http://moneythink.org/about/advisers/)
 * Problem is, whenever I try to add the “/about/” into the URL field when editing
   the page, it just converts to “[http://moneythink.org/aboutadvisers/](http://moneythink.org/aboutadvisers/)
 * As you might notice, there is no “About” page. It’s actually just a # link with
   CSS to disable the cursor effect, since I wanted the “About” to be a label, not
   a clickable page. Because of this setup, however, I cannot make the Board of 
   Advisors page a child of “About”, which would add the “/about/” into the URL.
 * Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

 * I don’t think there is any elegant way to get around the WordPress hierarchy.
   I would suggest you actually create a page called About and then make Advisers
   a child of About. In your navigation you can still keep About as just a label
   with your # link.
 * If you are worried about the URL [http://moneythink.org/about/](http://moneythink.org/about/)
   getting indexed or users landing on it you could 301 redirect it to [http://moneythink.org/about/advisers/](http://moneythink.org/about/advisers/)
   just make sure you don’t get yourself caught in any redirect loops.
 * Hope this helps, and if you find another solution I’d love to hear it!
