Hi there!,

```
If i have a page hierarchy like this one:

A
|- B
| |- C
| \- D
\- E

Is is possible to have direct access to page "C" using the URL

```

“[site.com/C](http://site.com/C)” instead of going through B with “[site.com/B/C](http://site.com/B/C)” ? That  
is, having no slug/breadcrumb for page “B”?

There are two ways I can think of.

1. Create a rewrite rule in your webserver that does that for you. It  
could be a redirect or a plain rewrite.
2. Create a special type of virtual page for B (somewhat like the  
FileNotFoundPage) that serves its children as if they are at the same  
level as itself. A would probably have to be involved as well.

#1 is obviously they easier one, but honestly, I’d just say put it in  
the root if you need the page to be accessible from the root.

Thanks for the reply.

 I want to do this simply because of administrative reasons. I

```

want some really-non-tech users to just see some pages in the admin UI  
as described in this hack:  
[http://wiki.radiantcms.org/How\_To\_Set\_a\_Top\_Level\_Page\_for\_User](http://wiki.radiantcms.org/How_To_Set_a_Top_Level_Page_for_User).
