No way to create index page for page-folders [Not working for folders - 2020]

[samliew (webflowexpert.com)]

Take his first example. He creates a URL called samliew.com /snippets. This is fine, but it ends up 301 redirecting to a page called samliew.com /projects.

So while the “samliew.com /snippets” URL is indeed a valid one, the 301 is telling Google to ignore it, and to pass all of the link juice (via the permanent redirect) to a separate subdirectory called /projects, which I believe is opposite of the intent of this question.

This is not true, you are quoting a very old post from 2016

I’ve since renamed both the index page and CMS collection to projects.

The index page method still can be achieved

I still have both an index page at /projects and individual CMS items starting with /projects/{slug}

Here are the new URLs since you mentioned them:

Samuel Liew - Projects (page without any folder, with slug “projects”)
Tic-Tac-Toe by samliew (page inside a folder “projects”)
Set Game by samliew (page inside a folder “projects”)
