• For some reason i am unable to change the title of my Blog page back to just /blog. Maybe some other previously deleted page is hanging on to that name but when i try to edit it, the name just goes back to /blog-2.
    Can anyone see what is happening?
    Using Jupiter template recently added after site was already underway.

  • Hi Ann,

    Guessing you will need to fully delete the old page.

    Look in All Pages, then in your trash folder – and delete the old one permanenently.

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/

    You should then be able to change the URL of the second one back to /blog/.

    So if i delete the old blog PAGE, the blog POSTS should still be “safe” and appear once i create the new blog page… right?
    and i could copy what is on the current blog PAGE and just past back on the newly created blog page? BC now there is only some code on the blog page and i wouldn’t know how to recreate it. I’m assuming nothing in this code is causing the problem so i will just c/p it on new page then.

    well i thought i put “backticks” on the code but didn’t show up right. Did i do that wrong? I used ` mark in upper left of keyboard.

    If I understand, generally I would always use quotation marks – as per the code you copied above.

    ok… didn’t know for sure what ‘backticks’ were but just used the symbol it looked like.. I’ll try quotes….

    “[vc_row fullwidth=”false” attached=”false” padding=”0″ visibility=”” animation=””][vc_column border_color=”” visibility=”” width=”1/1″][mk_blog style=”classic” column=”3″ thumbnail_align=”left” magazine_strcutre=”1″ image_size=”crop” grid_image_height=”350″ image_quality=”1″ count=”10″ offset=”0″ transparent_border=”false” disable_meta=”true” disable_lightbox=”true” disable_comments_share=”true” full_content=”false” excerpt_length=”200″ pagination=”true” pagination_style=”1″ order=”DESC” orderby=”date” item_id=”1440199670-55d7b3f64f273″][/vc_column][/vc_row]”

    doesn’t look like that worked either. I’ve had it work before….
    hmmmm….

    Have you put a quote on either side just for this forum, or have you done that in WordPress as well?

    "[vc_row fullwidth="false" attached="false" padding="0" visibility="" animation=""][vc_column border_color="" visibility="" width="1/1"][mk_blog style="classic" column="3" thumbnail_align="left" magazine_strcutre="1" image_size="crop" grid_image_height="350" image_quality="1" count="10" offset="0" transparent_border="false" disable_meta="true" disable_lightbox="true" disable_comments_share="true" full_content="false" excerpt_length="200" pagination="true" pagination_style="1" order="DESC" orderby="date" item_id="1440199670-55d7b3f64f273"][/vc_column][/vc_row]"

    ok… feeling dumb.
    I didn’t read your first reply carefully. I thought you were saying to delete and recreate my current active blog page.
    Now i see you said to “delete permanently” from the Trash folder. Duh!
    I found to weird blog pages that I deleted and was able to then rename the current one to “blog”.
    Thanks for your help and patience!

    i do not have the quotes in the code on the text tab of the blog page. I only added them here bc i thought that’s what you were suggesting.
    It seems like i used that backtick symbol before and it worked… the backward single “quote” mark on the upper left keyboard key. Like it shows below this box… Put code in between backticks.
    Testing….

    test code

    i see that the “test code” shows up in a different font so maybe that’s what it’s supposed to do. I just thought it comes up in a separate small box or something like that…
