Take a look at the permalinks settings. Is the slug included there? https://projectdmc.org/documentation/article/settings-permalinks-screen/
This is happening because you’ve made all these pages child pages of the homepage!
Make the pages stand-alone (ie they shouldn’t have any parent page at all) and the “homepage” will be removed from the URLs.
Hi @infocontrol,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with your website’s URL structure. Based on the information you provided, it seems like the “homepage” slug is showing on every page’s URL path except for the homepage itself. This issue can occur when the front page of your website is set to a static page instead of the default blog page.
To remove the “homepage” slug from your website’s URL path, you can try the following steps:
- Go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Settings > Reading.
- Under the “Your homepage displays” section, select the “Your latest posts” option.
- Click the “Save Changes” button to update your settings.
This should remove the “homepage” slug from your website’s URL path and restore the correct URL structure. If you’re still experiencing issues, you can try contacting your website’s hosting provider or WordPress support team for further assistance.
Hope this helps! 🙂

Does this mean one should never use the feature that WordPress provides to set a static page as the homepage? I think ChatGTP is wrong here!
Hi @gappiah,
Although problems are acknowledged, this does not imply that the WordPress default feature should never be used. ChatGTP may be incorrect, but even improperly configured permalinks can result in redirection problems. As a developer, you should experiment to understand how it works; this is the first and most important thing that WordPress developers and beginners alike need to know.
@gappiah, you are absolutely right.
It was so simple. Thank you so much!
