Duplicate Pages

    Good evening,

    Could you assist me in adding 2 pages to my Menu?

    For some reason I’m having trouble adding 2 pages to my menu/main navigation bar. Whenever I add ‘Connect with me!’ and ‘Upcoming Events’ the pages are duplicates of the ‘About Me’ page.

    This is odd because whenever I click on each page invidually in the ‘Pages’ tab in the dashboard they each show up as individual pages; it’s just whenever I add them to the menu they show up as duplicates of the ‘About Me’ page.

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there, is it possible that you’ve accidentally edited the Page Template rather than a regular page?

    Use the Page template for standard pages on your site, such as an About page, a Contact page, or a page explaining your services. When you assign the page template to these pages, they will have the same layout, ensuring a consistent experience for visitors browsing through your site. This guide will show you when and how to edit the Page template and some common changes you wish to make.

    What that would do is force any regular page using that template to appear like the edited template.

    I’m also going to flag your thread for Staff since they can see what is happening behind the scenes. Thanks for your patience.

    Hi there!

    Have you figured it out already? I checked your site and found that:

    1. The pages you mentioned are now showing different content, as expected.
    2. The links to those pages are showing up on the menu.

    I see that you contacted us via live chat, and we offered some solutions for you. You may have followed them, and the issues are now fixed?

    Feel free to let us know if there’s anything else you need, and we’ll be happy to help.

    Hi @aisajib Just mentioning that at the time of my first reply I looked at the OP’s site and the navigation links were correct, but the page content repeated the About Me page, as the OP said.

    For future reference for anyone encountering a similar situation and searching our forums for a solution, here’s how you can reset a Template in the Site Editor https://wordpress.com/support/site-editor/#reset-changes
