Noob WP problem w. creating pages

[KevinMcC]

I am trying to creating a sub-page for my site that is on wordpress.

This is the current page - xxhttp://mobile-sportsbetting.com/mobile-sports-betting/mobile-sports-betting-sites

When really I want the structure to be - xxhttp://mobile-sportsbetting.com/mobile-sports-betting-sites

When I created the page I made the homepage the parent page because without that the post was getting an error message.

Any Ideas?

EDIT - Okay figured it out myself - I had set the permalink to /%postname% and made a category the same name as the page. All I had to do was add the front slash to the end of the permalink to make it /%postname%/ and it worked.

redirect xxttp://mobile-sportsbetting.com/mobile-sports-betting/ to xxttp://mobile-sportsbetting.com/ and you'll be good to go. Right now, you are showing a little dup content.

How exactly do you redirect with wordpress?

I am searching google now and will post here if I find it before someone can answer

Oh sorry, it's not done via wordpress and honestly, the page would never be discovered if you didn't link to you directly but it does exist and just to keep things tidy, you should 301 it in your htaccess.

Place the following code AFTER all of the other code in your .htaccess file

redirect 301 /mobile-sports-betting/ xxttp://mobile-sportsbetting.com/

Just do 301 redirect in the .htaccess
