Purely to create a drop down list in main navigation, I have a parent page and then added desired pages as children.
That gives the desired pages this child-URL structure:
root/parent/page-slug
However, what I really want is to have those pages nested in the drop down but have this URL off the root:
root/page-slug
Is there a graceful way in Admin to declare a nav drop down item structure like that like, for example, declaring at the folder level that all children are to come off the root?
If not, is there a not-so-graceful way in Admin to do this like, for example, a page-level path override?
Though less important to me, is there also a way to declare the parent as "not-a-page" so that it simply acts as a drop down revealer in the nav?
I hope I make sense, and thank you for any help in advance.
