Hi all,

Been working on solving this mystery for the past 3 hours with no avail so hopefully someone can save me here.

Here goes:

1. I created a Testimonials page for my website today.

2. I decided the page did not look very good and proceeded to delete it from Pages --> Trash --> Delete Permanently.

>>Here's where the fun begins /sarcasm<<

3. I click on Pages on the sidebar and see "Private(1)" but when I click into it, it's empty.

4. Confused as hell, I eventually thought to see whether the old page (the one that I just deleted) was still there (mysite.com/testimonials) and lo' and behold, the page now says "Archives: Testimonials" with all my previous content.

5. No matter what I do, I can't seem to delete this page. Things I've tried:
- moved all my testimonials into the trash --> page just says "empty" but still exists
- created another "Testimonials" page in Pages --> previous content refuses to be replaced and new page (with new content) doesn't even show up.
- restored previous backup, still has /Testimonials even though content isn't even in this prior backup
- cleared cache and tried using both Mac and PC

I'm. So. Confused.

Help.

Not going to help but I have experienced issues with wordpress aswell. I found it buggy and not working right almost exactly like your situation. Pages not getting updated or some things.

Lol frig off, coding is hard. It takes a lot of time to learn it all and some people just don't have the time or the patience for that.

You might want to repost it in programmer's section or something like that for better knowledge.
