I have had this problem for a while but it's getting more and more irritating and I need help.
Not sure how I got there, but I have two home pages. One is called "Home" the other "Home Page"
Both have a slug of "index-1" which I cannot change. If I try to change the slug on one to "index", it immediately comes back as "index-1". Same thing with the other.
If I try to delete either page, it is recreated immediately.
I can change the content of one page and when I do, I actually have two home pages, one that is shown when a visitor enters www.website.com and the other when he/she clicks on the Home link in the menu.
But if I try to change the content of the other page to look like it, then both pages revert to the old page.
I know it sounds crazy, and maybe my site is possessed. Maybe I need a web site exorcist... Any suggestion accepted.
I do not want to destroy (or recreate) the entire web site or take it down for any length of time as it is pretty busy. I do have a backup site that is pretty much a mirror image of the main site and it has the same problem of course, but at least my content is backed up.
I have been reluctant to go in with the console and hack it.
There has to be a proper way to clear the page index without destroying everything and if so, I'll be extremely grateful to know what it is.
Thanks in advance
