[Django]-Wagtail url prefix for a custom Page model

✅

In Wagtail, page URLs are formed from the list of slugs of the page’s parent and ancestor pages, based on the page’s position in the tree – the developer doesn’t specify them directly. So, to get the URL /posts/awesome-first-post/, create a page with the slug posts (usually you’d create a dedicated PostIndexPage page model to serve as a listing page), and create the page awesome-first-post as a child of that one (by clicking the ‘+’ icon next to the Posts page in the explorer listing view).

If you want to make sure that users only ever create PostPages as children of the PostIndexPage, use a subpage_types / parent_page_types setting, for example:

class PostPage(Page):
    # ...
    parent_page_types = ['PostIndexPage']
