 * There are only four pages on my website. The three supporting page permalinks
   under my main URL all have the following words /freelance-copywriter added after
   my main static page address. For example, [https://www.copywritingservices.com/freelance-copywriter/six-most-important-rules-of-copywriting/](https://www.copywritingservices.com/freelance-copywriter/six-most-important-rules-of-copywriting/).
   Don’t know how those words got there. They only appeared after I installed your
   plug in. How can I remove them please? I am a freelance copywriter but don’t 
   particularly want these words mentioned on my permalinks. For example, I would
   prefer [https://www.copywritingservices.com/six-most-important-rules-of-copywriting](https://www.copywritingservices.com/six-most-important-rules-of-copywriting).
   Please advise. Thanks. Rod Mitchell 🙂

 * Hi Rod!
 * Did you recently switch SEO plugins? Some SEO plugins modify the permalink structure,
   but The SEO Framework doesn’t touch that at all.
 * Please see if the pages with the extraneous permalink entry have parent pages.
   You can learn more about parent pages here: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/pages/#organizing-your-pages](https://wordpress.org/support/article/pages/#organizing-your-pages)

 * Hi Sybre
 * After reading the article about parent pages, my head was spinning. But then 
   it gradually dawned on me that I had been fiddling around with something I didn’t
   understand. I simply removed the parent links (i.e. to my front page) on the 
   three affected pages. And, hey presto, no more freelance-bloody-copywriter! Problem
   solved. Thank you very much for your time. It would be an understatement to say
   that you are a genius!
 * All the best
 * Rod Mitchell
