Duplication of a child page deletes default page

Post by webform »

I am experiencing something very mysterious where a duplication of a child page takes over and removes the original default page.

The page has all of the duplicate page's content and template, but has taken over the default page content id and default status.

In the Content Manager, the original default page (home page) is gone, while the new duplicated child page is correctly placed in the hierarchy as a child of its parent page. So it has not just replaced the default page in the Content Manager. but is a duplicated child page.

If the original default page used a different template with custom fields and I change the new child page to that template, the content in those fields returns (probably because the content id is the same).

I have made other websites where users report the same behavior, that their default pages disappear when they duplicate a child page.

So the common denominator is that it happens when you duplicate a child page. I also think the child page is inactive when it is duplicated.

However, I have not succeeded in recreating the problem when I create a test site.

We are aware of this, it's still proving difficult to recreate but it's something we're actively investigating. If you find a way to make it happen reliably on a test site definitely let us know.
Not getting the answer you need? CMSMS support options

Thank you.

I'll try to investigate further and see if i can replicate the error.

I have 2 suspicions I work from; That the duplicate child page was disabled and that the CMSMS software has been continuously updated (So not a brand new fresh installation).
