  I recently moved a page from its original location (with no parent), to a location under a parent. When I did this, the url address for the page automatically changed. Is there any way to keep its original url address while having it show up in the new location on the screen?
  My concern is that this particular page had a very high ranking in google search, etc, and no longer shows up in a search with its new location.

  Hi there,

  When you change the Page Attributes to add a parent for a page, that will automatically change the page’s URL. To switch back to the original URL, you can remove that parent from the page’s attributes.

  If you’d like to make a page appear under a parent page in your site’s menu without changing the page’s URL, you can set up a Custom Menu. With the custom menu, you can control exactly where the pages appear in the menu without changing their page attributes. To make a page appear under a parent page, you can set up sub-menus as mentioned here:

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
