I'm using wordpress and have quite a lot of static content. I have a page structure as follows.

Page A
.....Page B
.....Page C
.....Page D
..........Page E

With friendly urls turned on, when I request Page E the url is:

www.mysite.com/page-a/page-d/page-e

Is there any way to maintain the page heirarchy inside wordpress, but shorten the url to:

www.mysite.com/page-e

This is pages only, not posts, Thanks.

What you are looking for is called permalinks.
You can change that per default with the newer versions of wordpress, no plugins needed.

Play around with permalinks. Its pretty easy and you can choose what you want. :)

You can customize permalink structure via admin panel.
1. Click on options/permalinks
2. Then choose custom structure and put /%postname% into the text box

Good luck.
