    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.
