I’m using WordPress 4.6 with Divi theme.

A project page behaved funny so I deleted it.
Now I wanted to build it again with the same slug, but the deleted page still shows up under that slug.

  • I deleted the trash
  • I deleted the browser cache
  • even opened an incognito tab in Chrome

I even changed the slug at the time the old page appeared. Now the deleted page still shows up. But under the NEW slug.

Completely lost here.

What can I do?

Thanks!

  1. Have you actually deleted the page, and not just left it in ‘Bin’ or ‘Trash’?

    If you’re logged in as Admin, I believe deleted, and draft pages still show as normal so you can preview them.

    Try logging out of /wp-admin/ and see if you can still access the page. If it says ‘Page not found’, then your page is still in WordPress and hasn’t been deleted.

  2. In Appearance > Theme Options > Front Page Section 1 Content you can edit what pages show on that first scrolling screen. This also drove me mad for a while till I figured it out.

  3. I had this kind of problem because an image had the same name as a page.
