Is there a workaround to making an existing page a parent folder?
Since I’m not the original creator of the website, I have to work on the existing structure of the site within Webflow. Unfortunately, I’ve come across a situation where I have to make landing pages that is nested under an existing page, however I can’t make the URLs to be like this:
I am aware of CMS collections but I’m not keen to use this since I want unique layouts per subpage. Ideally, I would want /page-1 a parent folder then create subpages.
That’s not right, that indicates 2 folders nested, or perhaps a folder with a cms page nested.
It will help a lot if you share your readonly project link and a published site link.
From your description, what you’re asking for can be done natively, easily.
If it’s more complex than that, I use a reverse proxy to allow full path flexibility.
I had the same situation with a static “Services” page. I had to add service categories pages under it and this to be show in the url like this “website/services/main category/sub-category”.
To achieve this, first you need to create the Service page, THEN the Service folder. After that create Main services page in Services folder (from the "+"icon of the folder, not the whole project, otherwise you’ll need to set up redirects when dragging the pages into the folder). The same procedure is for the subcategories in that folder - first create pages, then folders and you’re good to go.
And in your case, when the pages are not created in the folder, you need to drag them in it and change their url 301 redirects. Because before draging, the page url is for example “yourwebflowsite/services” and after draging in a folder it becomes “your website/services/nested page”
If you dont change 301 redirects, the link to this page will be broken (404)
The Service Page I have is already built. So I would now like to add “new” pages under it, so to speak.
@memetican the above is what I am looking for. When I renamed the folder to /services (to make the URL the same as the Services static page), later on it became /services-2
Sorry, I couldn’t paste the read-only link due to privacy but I hope this was clear. I’m not exactly a dev but appreciate all of your input!
Hi everyone,
I have the same problem but for a collection page.
This is what I want:
Lvl 1 page: /connectors Static page and folder
Lvl 2 pages: /connectors/connectors-name collection
But this is what I obtain by setting “Connectors” as parent folder for my collection:
Lvl 1 page: /connectors Static page and folder
Lvl 2 pages: /connectors/connectors/connectors-name collection
