Can I have two child pages of different parents with the same name?

by

I have two pages
– new.hillsong.com/australia/sisterhood
– new.hillsong.com/hills/sisterhood

Both pages are displaying the content for the /hills/sisterhood site but they are different pages with different content. I can’t seem to find anything online about this. Is this possible? Are there any ways to make this work.

Thanks for the help!

Yes, you can.

In the old days, this was not possible (as evident from other answers). However, it’s possible now.

WordPress now lets child pages (of any post type that is hierarchical) from different parents to have the same slug / name. This is possible because now WordPress considers the entire hierarchical tree (parent-child combination) for uniqueness check.

So the following page URL(s) are possible now:

example.com/parent-1/child
example.com/parent-2/child
