I’m sure this is probably a dumb question, but can’t find any reference to it.
When creating an alias and inputting ’directory/sub-directory’ the / gets taken out when saved
Should I be inputting it in some other way to stop that?
Thanks
I don’t think that you can use a / in the alias since that changes what the url means to the server. The alias should refer to only the current document and not include any directory information, the directory data is handled by your site’s FURL settings. You cant use any special characters in an alias name.
Ah, thanks - so here was the problem I was trying to solve which I’d love you help with
Just launched a new site and the old one has Google links like:
domain.com/cheap-widgets/widgets
And I wanted to use this as an alias so I didn’t lose the links
If I can’t use the ’/’ in an alias, how do I invent or create the ’cheap-widgets’ subdomain?

Have a branch in your document tree with the parent named cheap-widgets, and all your cheap widgets pages under it. And turn on Friendly alias paths in the Configuration tool. Then the URL will be created with the full path.
