How to create sub pages

If you are building a site with a lot of pages you may wish to organize the pages to have sub-pages, which is referred to as "Parent/Child" relationships in WordPress. 

Here is an example of what a Parent/Child page structure looks like when you navigate to the "Pages" area of WordPress:

In the example above, the "Hub" page is the Parent page for Course 1, and Course 1 is the Parent page for the lesson pages. 

You can make any page on your site a child page by going to the "quick edit" screen from the "pages" area and then selecting the Parent Page:

A great tool to use along with this is our "[Breadcrumb Trail](https://kepjxtumb.gleap.help/en/articles/542-how-to-use-breadcrumb-trail)" element, or if you have a membership site, another element that will use the parent/child page relationships is the legacy [Membership Content List element](https://kepjxtumb.gleap.help/en/articles/87-how-to-create-sub-pages).
