## Description

Nested Blog Posts makes the built-in **Posts** post type behave more like **Pages**:

 * Adds a **Parent** dropdown to Posts.
 * Generates hierarchical permalinks like `/parent/child/` (supports unlimited depth).
 * Routes nested URLs correctly so you don’t get 404s or forced redirects to `/child/`.

This plugin does not contact external servers and does not collect user data.

### How to use

 1. **Enable the plugin** (Settings  Nested Blog Posts  Enabled).
 2. **Create a Parent blog post** (a normal Post).
 3. **Create a Child blog post** and set its **Parent** in the editor sidebar (Post
    Parent).
 4. To create a deeper tree, set the new post’s **Parent** to the previous child.
     
    Example: `/parent/child/grandchild/`
 5. If you disable the feature later, the plugin automatically refreshes rewrite rules
    and WordPress will fall back to normal post behavior.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/nested-blog-posts/` directory,
    or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen.
 2. Activate **Nested Blog Posts** through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Settings  Nested Blog Posts** and ensure it’s **Enabled**.

## FAQ

### Will my old /child/ URLs still work?

Yes. WordPress will typically redirect old single-level URLs to the new hierarchical
permalink.

### Can this conflict with Pages or taxonomies?

It can if you use the exact same path for a Page or taxonomy route. The plugin will
not override a published Page at the same full path, but you should avoid slug collisions.

### How do I debug?

As an admin, add `?wwhry_nbp_debug=1` to a nested URL and check the response headers
in DevTools  Network.
