Permanently delete a page in Silverstripe


Using Silverstripe 4

I've got a page (URL Segment : careers-2) which when I try to rename to "careers" it never lets me. I can't find a page with the URLSegment "careers" in the page list. I also deleted entries where the URLSegment was "careers" from SiteTree,SiteTree_Live and SiteTree_Versions.

But it still doesn't let me take the "careers" url. Always reverts to careers-2. I can rename this to anything else "careers-3" etc but not "careers". Any help is greatly appreciated.


Solution

  • I found the issue. There was a route defined in routes.yml. Therefore, SS naturally updated the page in question to a different one.
