I had a page inside of a folder with the same slug. /parent-portal/. So /parent-portal/parent-portal was the slug for the page inside of the folder. I changed the page name and slug making it /parent-portal/parent-portal-home. The trouble is when I go to the URL, it’s automatically redirecting to /parent-portal/parent-portal, the old slug. The link is correct when I hover over it and then it changes it.

The parent portal link is on the top nav. It goes to a password protected folder. Clicking on “parent portal” should bring you to the login screen but instead it takes you to “page not found”.
I’ve had to “update permalinks” in Wordpress after making changes like this. Or edit the .htaccess file. Is there something similar that can be done in webflow?
Why not copying all the content of the page into another new page, then delete the page, then create a new one with the good slug, paste back the content and see from there? Don’t fight, cheat!
I never encountered this issue. If you get caught in something that looks like a server or a cache is trying to outsmart you, going around may save time. I’m using 6 browsers because sometimes I don’t trust a cache flush
That was a bold guess, happy it helped you really!
Hi, can someone please explain why this is happening? I am having the same issue here. Have a go-live tomorrow morning. I tried Vincent’s strategy, it did not work. This is my first post, what is needed to get help on this?
Hi all, I’m also having this problem and @vincent 's solution isn’t working.
In my case, I created a page with slug called, let’s say slugName1
I then created an alternative layout and called it slugName2
I decided to go with the new layout, so deleted slugName1 and then renamed slugName2 to the original page slugName1
Now, I can’t load slugName1 – it just redirects to slugName2 which doesn’t exist as a slug, because I renamed it as above.
Please help! Tried clearing browser cache, incognito mode, unpublishing, etc.
Ok - not sure why I never saw this before but amongst all the fiddling I had an error pop up saying a URL couldn’t be created, with a link to ‘manage redirects’, from where I was able to solve this.
You can access these from the Site Settings panel, under the Hosting tab. Hope this helps someone else!
