Topic summary

Goal: Change Shopify page URLs to a nested “virtual” structure to reflect hierarchy.

Context/constraints:

  • Seeks clearer, hierarchical URLs for sub-pages under the main guide.
  • Aware that .htaccess (Apache rewrite configuration) cannot be used on Shopify, and asks for a Shopify-native method or workaround to create these nested links.

Request:

  • Confirmation if this URL structure is possible on Shopify and guidance on how to implement it without .htaccess.

Status:

  • No solution or responses provided yet; the question remains open.

HI,

I want to change the URL of my Shopify pages to a virtual link.

For eg: I have a page name essential oils. This page has many oils listed and clicking them will lead to a separate page. So my URLs are below:

  1. Complete Guide to Essential Oils With Uses and Benefits ( main page )
  2. incensesticks.com/pages/neroli-oil-guide ( sub-page )
  3. incensesticks.com/pages/rose-oil-guide ( sub-page )

For clarity I want to change the URLs of sub pages to below:

  1. Complete Guide to Essential Oils With Uses and Benefits

  2. Complete Guide to Essential Oils With Uses and Benefits

Is there a way I can achieve this in Shopify?

I am aware about htaccess rules but then I cannot add an htaccess file in shopify.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
