My third page gets redirected to a random blog

  • Unknown's avatar

    I am using ‘Day Dream’ theme on my wordpress site. I am encountering a strange problem. Apart from the home page I have 2 additional pages. But I cannot show a third page. Whenever I create a third page, the link appears on the home page. But if you click on that link, you will taken to a random external wordpress blog that has nothing to do with my site. What is going wrong and how do I resolve this? Can someone please help.

    give us a complete link you your blog please.

    My site URL is http://www.funsale.wordpress.com I have now put a test page called as “Soon”. If you click on that link on my homepage it will direct you to a external unrelated blog page.

    That IS interesting – when I point at the “soon”, it gives the address to be http://www.funsale.wordpress.com/next , and then it redirects to a seemingly random wordpress blog – a diffrent each time. What is “next” – is it a page you’ve made?

    @boblets: Yes, apparently it’s a page she made (shows so in the source code).

    @klippi: Go to Manage Pages, click your “Soon”, click Edit (the permalink), replace “next” with “Soon”, click Save.

    Hi all, thanks so much for the help. Yes, I had created a ‘next’ page and when the redirecting alien appeared, I renamed it ‘soon’. Didn’t know the word ‘next’ triggered the strange reaction. Thanks everyone.
    …And panaghiotisadam, can you please redirect me from a ‘she’ to a ‘he’ please :-)

    Glad you got it solved.
    (Hehe! – I love that – usually, people are seen and refered to as “he” until otherwise stated. )

    @klippi: Sorry – “redirecting” promptly done!

    When you named your page “next” you accidentally created the function of the arrow in the upper right corner of our dashboard (= leading to a random blog). Click on that arrow and you’ll see that the URL becomes “….com/next/”.

    @boblets: Yeah, nice (sort of: klippi may not be of the same opinion)! Don’t know how it occured to me – wasn’t thought out.
