wordpress hierarchical posts like pages how achieve them

Method 1: Using Permalinks with Categories (Most Common)

This is the easiest and most popular way to create a nested URL structure for posts in WordPress. You essentially use your pillar page as a category and your cluster pages as posts assigned to that category.

Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Set Up Your Permalinks

• In your WordPress dashboard, go to Settings > Permalinks.
• Select the “Custom Structure” option.
• In the text box, enter the following permalink structure: /%category%/%postname%/
• Click “Save Changes.”

Using a Plugin for True Hierarchical Posts

If you absolutely need a parent-child relationship for posts that mimics the “Page Attributes” feature, you will need to use a plugin. These plugins change the default behavior of posts to make them hierarchical.

• Plugin Search: Look for plugins in the WordPress repository with terms like “hierarchical posts,” “post parent,” or “post type parent/child.”
• How it works: Once installed, these plugins will add a “Parent” dropdown to the Post editor sidebar, allowing you to select a parent post just like you would for a page.

• Nested Pages: This plugin provides a drag-and-drop interface that makes it easy to organize posts and pages hierarchically, giving you a tree view in the backend. just for viewing
  Settings>>nested pages>> post types >> enable for posts>> after that >>posts>> Sort view >> drag drop just for viewing
• Post Types Order: While primarily for sorting, it has advanced features for hierarchical ordering.
  Simple Custom Post Order: Not usable just drag drop posts in wordpres posts page.
• Custom Post Type UI (CPT UI): This is a developer-focused plugin that allows you to create your own custom post types. When creating a new post type, you can set hierarchical to true and enable page-attributes, which gives you the parent-child functionality you’re looking for. This is a very robust solution, but it means you would be using a “article” custom post type instead of the default “post” type.

Add page-attributes to posts wordpress

function add_page_attributes_to_posts() {
add_post_type_support( ‘post’, ‘page-attributes’ );
add_post_type_support( ‘post’, ‘hierarchical’ ); // Optional, enables parent/child relationship
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘add_page_attributes_to_posts’ );

The Page Attributes metabox allows you to set

1. page parents
2. templates,
3. change the order of your pages.

Custom Post Types with Hierarchical Support:

array(
‘labels’ => array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Your Custom Posts’ ),
‘singular_name’ => __( ‘Your Custom Post’ )
),
‘public’ => true,
‘has_archive’ => true,
‘hierarchical’ => true, // Enable hierarchical support
)
);

        if ( 'post' === $post_type ) {
            global $wp_post_types;
            $wp_post_types['post']->hierarchical = true;
            add_post_type_support( 'post', 'page-attributes' );
        }
    }
