    New here!
    I created a page that I deleted completely. Now, when I make new pages, every time I click view it redirects back to that old page thet doesn’t exist! Every time I try to link from the home page to a new page, it goes back to that old page. I’ve tried clearing the cache on the browser, recreating the permalinks.. nothing seems to work! Any tips?

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

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)
