Wow good catch, that does the trick! Thank you! 🙂 I tried `slug` earlier today (which didn’t work) but overlooked `url`.

For others in this thread, you’ll need to use the `url` page variable, and not `slug`. That looks like this. For example to have the `/ox-hugo/` section main page render at `/ox-hugo-org-exporter/` instead of its default URL, use a front matter like this:

```auto
+++
title = "Ox-hugo"
url = "/ox-hugo-org-exporter/"
date = "2018-05-16"
+++

```

In the `/content/ox-hugo/_index.md` file.
