Why an enforced URL change?
-
Once upon a time, the URL evoligion.wordpress.com opened a page called ‘What’s This?’ which was a one-page introduction to the 25-chapter book which follows. This page disappeared, through nothing that I did (as far as I can tell). I have tried to rewrite it but cannot assign it to the original URL; it wants to be called …/home/. Similarly, the ‘Quick Start’ page insists on being url’e …/Quickstart-2/. Who’s been tinkering with my pages?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Your “What’s this” page has the permalink of evoligion.wordpress.com/home likely because when you created it, you titled it “home” and then changed the title later.
Any post or page with a -2 type of permalink has that link because you created a new post or page with the same title as something you already had, and the number is a way for our system to distinguish between the posts that reside in our database.

@jackiedana, That’s all sort of quasilogical–except that I didn’t *wittingly* do any of those things. From my point of view, the original ‘What’s This?’ page annoyingly disappeared between visits. Is there some way I can get rid of the ‘/home’ that the replacement page carries? The ‘Nothing Found’ error shows up from all established links, which don’t know about ‘/home’.

What are you ultimately wanting to accomplish?
If you would like your page “What’s This?” to show up as your home page, please go to your Dashboard and under Settings > Reading, for “Front Page Displays,” choose a static page and then choose the “What’s This” page.
