    Is it possible to make it so that you can have a page named website.com/wordpress/about in the WordPress CMS and a folder in your FTP like website.com/wordpress/about?

    Or do I HAVE to make a content / images folder that contains all my files that I want to link to on the pages in the WordPress CMS?

    Your posts and pages are not files, but content of tables in your database, therefor posts and pages have no folders. The “permalinks” are just another way to point to them than the “ugly” ?id=.
    Images arefiles and indeed I’d put them all in the same folder.

    I hope that answers your question.

    It is a bad idea to have a “slug” that’s identical URL of an existing folder in your FTP . Avoid doing that. If you have pretty permalinks turned on.

    Workaround: Note that you can adjust the “slug” of posts and pages. Even if your page title is “About”, you can change the slug
    from example.com/about/
    to example.com/page-about-me/

    That way you can still have a folder in your FTP /about/

    You don’t have to put all your images and attachments under the /wp-content/ folder. You can make your own directories. But don’t make a directory that might conflict with a current or future page-name (unless you remember to change the slug).
