after clearing the cache then disabling the caching plugin and testing it worked properly.

I tried re-enabling the caching plugin after that and it went back to displaying wrong. even though I had not changed any content since enabling the caching plugin again.

So I guess it’s outside of your scope?

For posterity, I was using W3 total cache

below is the initial conclusion I reached
this issue appears to occur only when the page it should be displayed on is older than the page being referenced (i think wordpress makes a UUID for each entitiy). nevermind on that it displayed properly with some other pages that were younger than the host page.

below is a record of what i tried and the results
on the blog page it displays the first post.
on the downloads page it displays the downloads page.
on a new test page it displays the proper page.

I created a new test page and set it to display a new pop up page. instead it displayed the page i wanted from earlier.

I created another new test pop up page and set it to display on the same test page. this time it displayed the first test pop up page.

I created another another new test pop up page and set it to display on the same test page. this time it displayed the page i just created properly. I reloaded it and tried again and this time it displayed the page i wanted it to display originally.

below is the requested information
(sorry for the confusing explanation)
due to the weird behavior, I wonder if it is caused by a plugin conflict? I have a caching plugin installed and can provide a list of the ones I use. you can try it out at https://www.strategit.com/testing-bento in a private browsing context and make intent to leave.

additional details:
it properly displayed other pages that i tried
this page includes a shortcode
I don’t remember what version the expansion pack is on it says 2.0 but i remember there being updates

Ah I apologize, I guess I misread the instructions. I attempted to apply the rewrite rules change before the cache pages setting was on, which (obviously) caused the test to fail. I ran the test after making that change with the debug settings on and it ran successfully with HTTP response 200 and matching timestamps.

Thank you for helping!
