QUESTION Duplicate all root level pages into new directory

[shawn_a]

Yes you can use components in your template.

The problem will be you need to do a global search and replace on the sub pages to change all the slugs to unique
parent_sub
and change all the parents to new parent.

If you know how to use real ide or text editors this should be a 5 mintue job

just remember that GS does not support multilevel slugs

so
index1/child
index2/child
is impossible as you now have 2 "child" slugs.

so they must be unique slugs
