  I updated a permalink to better match the content.
  I updated the page with the link to the page.
  When I display the page, it shows the old page link.
  Following the link produces a 404 error.

  I’ve tried deleting the link and recreating it… nothing.
  I’ve tried changing the permalink settings and switching back… nothing.

  If I type in the URL in the address bar the page displays.

  No idea where to go from here.

  Hi there,

  We’d be happy to help, but we require one vital piece of information. What is the URL of your website?

  Bare in mind that if your websites uses the self-hosted version of WordPress rather than WordPress.com, you should post in the self-hosted forums or alternatively contact your hosting provider. Note the difference here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Let us know this information and we’ll try and move forward. :)

  golightcity.com is the site.

  The page I changed the name of is:

  Original: https://golightcity.com/ministries/antioch-kids
  Current: https://golightcity.com/ministries/light-city-kids

  If you use the current one on the address bar it shows up.
  Every link I’ve created with the new page appears on the page as the old one.
