Child pages in WordPress are nested under a parent page to organize and structure the content of a website.
For example, if you have a parent page called “About Us” on your WordPress website, you can add child pages like “Our Story,” “Our Team,” and “Our Values” to further organize and structure the content.
This helps to create a clear hierarchy and organization of content. Thus, making it easier for users to find and navigate to the information they need.
