Nesting a URL

Hi there - I've created a logical tree structure for my site - how do I make the URL reflect that of my hierarchy.

E.g. I was expecting

Home
+ Hello World

To yield the following URL:

http://localhost/Home/Hello-World.aspx

but it gives me:

http://localhost/Hello-World.aspx

What do I change?

Thanks!

Home is usually the root of your website - So you would expect to see a url of just hello-world.aspx? Why do you want the URL with Home in it?

By default, umbraco hides the top-level node from the URL since it generally adds unhelpful extra items to the url.

Here's how a content section is typically structured and the associated urls umbraco creates by default:
```
CONTENT
    + Home                      (url = /home.aspx as well as /)
        + Products              (url = /products.aspx)
            - Widget A          (url = /products/widget-a.aspx)
            - Widget B          (url = /products/widget-b.aspx)
        - Contact Us            (url = /contact-us.aspx)
        - About Us              (url = /about-us.aspx)
```
But if you want to include the 'home' node in the url of all its subpages... just change the following line in the web.config file.
```
<add key="umbracoHideTopLevelNodeFromPath" value="false" />
```
You'll then need to publish the home page and all it's children for umbraco to recalculate the urls. Just right-click on the home page and select the 'Publish' menu. Be sure to click the 'publish child nodes' option as well.

cheers,
doug.
