Creating a new page has replaced the homepage

    This is the strangest thing.
    I’m just helping out someone on this site
    https://www.uacc.cc
    It’s a Genesis site using the child theme Lifestyle. Admittedly I know very little about Genesis but I do work regularly in WordPress.

    Basically I duplicated a page (there was a plugin already installed called Duplicate Post that allowed this), added my content and published it.

    This new page has taken over the homepage.
    if you go to the main url
    https://www.uacc.cc
    you’ll see it changes to this new page
    https://www.uacc.cc/new-physician/

    That is not the homepage.

    Supercache is running so I tried deleting the cache, disabling it and deleting this new page but then the site throws a 404.

    I looked at the .htaccess and don’t see anything weird there.

    Anyone else ever have this problem/have any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • Can you replicate the problem using the default Twenty Thirteen theme with all other plugins deactivated?

    Yes,
    When default theme and all plugins deactivated the url adds in /new-physician/ at the end.

    Also made sure the site is set to latest posts, and that the url in the general settings is not something weird.

    I also got a backup of the database from the site owner from before this happened and tried importing it into phpmyadmin but nothing changed.

    I had to recreate the new-physician page just so a 404 error does not come up for now.

    This is driving me nuts. Do you think there’s anything I can do in the database to get rid of this?

    https://www.uacc.cc/ is opening just fine at my end. No weird re-directs. Did you try to visit your site from another browser or from a completely different machine?

    Duh, stupid cache!
    Just tried on another machine and you’re right, no redirect. It’s just missing the slideshow but I think I can handle that.

    Thanks guys!
