# Broadcasted pages lose their parent on modification

 * Hello
 * I am building a new version of a website, and I am using a multiple structure.
   Several pages of each site are broadcasted to the other sites. The original page,
   as well as the broadcasted ones, are given definite parent pages.
    The issue 
   is the following: when any change is made in an original page, the broadcasted
   ones lose their parents, and locate at the root of the site. Is it normal? As
   is it problematic to me (the sites count many pages), is there a way to prevent
   this side effect from occurring ? Thanks in advance for your answers

 * Losing the parent page is almost always due to the parent page not being broadcasted(
   and linked).
 * Is that the case for you, perhaps?

 * Yes, indeed. Should I also broacast the parent page to solve the issue ?

 * Yepp.
 * There is an alternative, if you don’t want the parent broadcasted at all, is 
   to protect the child’s parent page using either custom code or the [Protect Child Properties add-on](https://broadcast.plainviewplugins.com/addon/protect-child-properties/).
