Empty main menu item, but withou alias in the URL
Hello,
I'd like to have a parent item in the menu that does not link to anything, so that I put other items in the menu beneath it.
It's a sort of faux parent that links to nothing, but harbors other items under one umbrella.
I'm aware that one way to do it is like so: But the problem now is that the alias will be part of the link. I don't want that.
Is there a way to do it without the disadvantage of having the alias appear as part of the url?
Thanks.

Menu type header in system links.

You don't use a menu item type Alias.

But that's not what I'm looking for.
As you can see, now the alias of the heading appears in the URL: I don't want that extra alias to show. I want the heading to be just there, but without affecting the URL.

Re: Empty main menu item, but withou alias in the URL
Joomla creates the URL based on the menu structure: mysite.tld/menu-item/submenu-item/etc.
You could look at extensions for menus:
https://extensions.joomla.org/tags/menu-systems/
Or use aliases. Upside: no additional extension. Downside: double work
- Create a (hidden) menu with your menu-items.
- Create a menu with menu-readings and the submenus are aliases to menu-items in the (hidden) menu.
