Phantom pages
-
I have noticed that several of my published pages do not show up in my list under Site Pages. I can still edit them–if I launch the missing page on my browser and then click on edit in the lower right hand corner. Is there a reason why these pages are not included in my list?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
When you say pages, you mean the links that point to an external site (e.g. http://shhs80s.strikingly.com/blog/1987)? If that’s the case, please read the instructions on how to properly add links:
-
No. What I am refering to is the list of my sites. I go into my editor, look under Sites, then under Pages. All of my pages are there for me to edit, except that four are missing. They are published and available online to the public, but they are not included in my editor list (Sites–Pages).
-
-
Do you mean different websites rather than pages on one particular site? Have you tried “My Sites” “switch site”? If you scroll to the bottom on the left do you see any “hidden” sites? Otherwise perhaps those sites are under a different account to the one you are currently logged in to.
-
I do not see any list of hidden sites. This is one example:
When I go to My Sites, Switch Site, then to SH 70s, then Site, and Pages: it does not appear in that list. I notice now that it DOES appear under All My Sites. I can start to use that area when editing instead, but there is some kind of glitch:
One of my pages:
which is published privately right now, has somehow been assigned to
as a sub-page. Normally, its address would be:
https://sleepyhollowseventies.wordpress.com/ninety/
So right now, it is being returned as a search result under the first URL.
Should I delete that page and create a replacement that is separate from Contact-us? -
You’ll find https://sleepyhollowseventies.wordpress.com/4two/ titled as “1970(H)”, I guess at some point it was given a different slug (the unique part of the URL, which can be customized).
As for the Ninety page, just set its Parent Page to “(no parent)” following https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-options/
-
The point I am making is this: there is no 1970(H) in my list–when I am in the site area: SHHS 70s. When I go to All My Sites, then it appears. There are three other SHHS 70s pages exhibiting this same condition (four total). Since I can now go to All My Sites to edit, I’m not going to worry further. But there must be a glitch somewhere, as these four pages should be included under SHHS 70s. The only other site I have is SHHS 80s, and the four do not show up there, either; only in All My Sites. I do not have a second log-in at WordPress.com, either.
-
Hm, that is odd.
Do you see it under https://sleepyhollowseventies.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page ?
-
Yes, I see it there. All of the files are there (SHHS 70s, SHHS 80s); it seems similar to All My Sites.

Hi sleepyholloweighties,
I just want to summarise the details we have so far and check that what I’m seeing on my side, matches what is happening on yours:
- When I go to sleepyhollowseventies.wordpress.com and check My Site > Site > Pages through your account,
1970(H)is not included in the page list. - If I search for
1970(H), the page is listed in the results. 1970(H)is listed in My Site > Switch Site > All My Sites.
Is this the same behaviour you are experiencing? Could you also confirm the 3 other pages names you are having trouble with so we can do some testing there too?
- When I go to sleepyhollowseventies.wordpress.com and check My Site > Site > Pages through your account,
-
The other four affected pages (total of five):
https://sleepyhollowseventies.wordpress.com/2one/ c
https://sleepyhollowseventies.wordpress.com/2two/ c2
https://sleepyhollowseventies.wordpress.com/thirty/ d-e
https://sleepyhollowseventies.wordpress.com/4one/ f-gI’m not sure what searching for a page entails here. If I insert their URLs into browser windows, each of the five pages does appear, whether or not I am signed on to WordPress.

Hi there,
We’ve had at least one other report of this happening, so there might be a bug.
If I artificially throttle my internet connection using responsive design mode in my browser, I can see those pages in the Pages list on initial load, then the view updates and they disappear. So the pages are there, but something in the interface is hiding them.
What worked for another person with this issue was to publish a new page on their site. Can you please try that and check if the pages reappear?
-
I have published a new page in sleepyhollowseventies. But I still do not see the missing five pages.
-
Ok, thanks for confirming.
We’re looking into this via https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/issues/32232 if you’d like to follow along there.
