We’re using Wix Studio, Wix Blog App, and Wix Site Search App to set up our blog, ‘Insights’, and want to optimize our URL structure for better SEO and usability.
How can we remove /categories/
from Level 2 category URLs and ensure articles are nested under their respective categories?
Current Blog Structure & Issues
Level 1: Insights Hub (Main Page)
URL:
https://www.domain.com/insights
Issue: No problem, serves as the hub for articles.
Level 2: Category Pages (Clusters)
Current URL:
https://www.domain.com/insights/categories/industry-best-practices-category
Issue: The
/categories/
folder is unnecessary and does not change between categories.
Level 3: Individual Articles
Current URL:
https://www.domain.com/articles-aimed-at-building-topical-authority
Issue: Articles do not include their category in the URL, making them disconnected from topic clusters.
What We Want to Achieve
Remove
/categories/
from category page URLs
Nest articles under their respective categories
Desired URL structure:
Categories:
https://www.domain.com/insights/industry-best-practices-category/
Articles:
https://www.domain.com/insights/industry-best-practices-category/articles-aimed-at-building-topical-authority/
Current Wix-generated structure (not ideal):
Categories:
https://www.domain.com/insights/categories/industry-best-practices-category/
Articles:
https://www.domain.com/articles-aimed-at-building-topical-authority/
What We’ve Tried
We’ve explored Wix Studio and Wix Blog App settings but cannot find a way to:
Remove
/categories/
from category URLs.
Nest articles under their respective categories.
Questions:
Can we remove
/categories/
from Level 2 category page URLs?
How can we ensure articles are nested under categories in the URL?
If Wix Studio doesn’t support this natively, are there workarounds (e.g., manual slugs, redirects, custom routing)?
Any insights from those who have solved this in Wix Studio would be greatly appreciated!
