Wordpress: How to make a subsubdirectory

Question

I have a multiple word press installations that I am trying to reduce to one.

Here is what it currently looks like:

Installation 1 = www.example.com
Installation 2 = www.example.com/foo
Installation 3 = www.example.com/foo/bar

How do I make it into one installation like this:

www.example.com/foo/bar

Where /foo and /foo/bar are two different pages.

Optionally: How do I do this:

www.example.com/baz/bar

Where /baz does not do anything (like a 404) and /bar is the actual content.

Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

If I'm understanding your question correctly, as long as you're okay with them all using the same theme (it gets much more complicated if you want them to look different), but you should be able to export the posts from the other two blogs and import them into the one you're keeping.

Then create a "top" page for each purpose and set the posts from the imported blogs under that top page via the Parent function.

The end result would be one site with three distinct areas controlled by the taxonomy.

This does not work if you need to use separate themes, however.

Answer 2

You can create sub directories by making parent pages:

Say you want it like this:

example.com/topicnamebutnocontent/informationontopic

Note: /topicbutnoname is a page/direcory that has no content.

---

You can create it this way:

• Make a blank page (it does not have to be blank) E.G. topicnamebutnocontent
• Make a page that you want to fill with your content E.G. informationontopic
• Set informationontopic's parent page to the blank page E.G. topicnamebutnocontent
• Double check that the permalink/address is correct with what you want.

And that should create the directory structure that you want!

Have a great day!
