 * Hi,
 * I am setting up the navigation on my site and I have three pairs of pages that
   need to mirror one another. I have been able to do this before but not in wordpress–
 * For example, I would like to have one main link in my menu that says “welcome
   to our event” and a sub page that says “event overview”. I want them to point
   to the same URL so that I don’t have to make sure we have to remember to edit
   each one every time we make a change.
 * Thank you so much!

 * hey there
 * i want to be sure i’m understanding so i apologize for the recap:
 * you’re trying to have 3 different menu entries that all link to the same page/
   post, but you want them to have different names in the submenu?
 * a couple thoughts for you if the above is true:
 * -are you trying to use the menu editor in Dashboard->Appearance->Menus
 * -have you explored adding the same page mutiple times to the menu? by clicking
   the arrow on the right hand side of the menu entry you can rename the menu link
   to whatever you would like. by setting an item using and drag and drop onto an
   existing entry you can nest items
 * here’s [an example i just made](http://picpaste.com/pics/wp1-cdGxD4m0.1424826310.jpg)
   where both items link to the page named “home”
 * the only difference between this and having “cloned pages” is that you ultimately
   only have one URL… personally i like this approach but whats your flavor?

 * Yes! Oh my gosh – thank you so much for recap and the thoughtful response. That
   is exactly the workaround I was looking for. I had been cloning the pages but
   it was driving everyone crazy because they are very information dense. You made
   my day. Thanks again so much!
