Add a category to the permalink for wordpress page only

Question

My permalink structure in WordPress is /%postname%/ which I do not want to change.

I'm trying to add a page (not a post) and create a permalink like:

http://example.com/non-existing-category/my-page-title/

But wordpress changes it to http://example.com/non-existing-category-my-page-title/

It removes the slash between the category and page title.

Without changing the site's permalink structure, how can I force the permalink for a specific page to allow me to have 'fake categories' to organize my pages.

I need this feature because I use some plugins that are included/excluded for specific pages and posts. It's easy for me to use wildcards when configuring the plugin settings if I can group pages under a category.

Answer 1

Use a parent page Not existing category with the subpage My page title.
