Anyone know much about Pretty URL's ?

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hey all, just enabled pretty url's on my site, and they work all good, except that I deleted a page, and then made a new page with the same name - and now the pretty url is trying to link to the old page in the trash... how can I stop it from doing this? Had a look through the database tables but couldn't find anything.

The link for my broken link page is this:

http://www.auspacjoinery.com.au/gallery...

but it redirects to this:

http://www.auspacjoinery.com.au/!trash/gallery/...

Have you cleared your site cache?

Have you deleted the old page from trash?

You go to 'Dashboard > Full Sitemap > Options (Show System Pages)'

Sometimes you can't empty the whole trash at once (don't ask me why), then you will have to delete them individually in trash.

Reviving this old thread because I'm having a similar issue but with a twist--I don't want to permanently delete the page from the trash. I want to replace it with a different page, same URL, but retain the original page for use later. Even though I've changed the URL of the original page, I can't seem to permanently assign the original URL to the page I want to be displaying now--if I enter the URL in the browser, it pulls the page out of the trash rather than the new one (and keeps appending a 1 to the URL of the new one). Adding the correct URL as an additional path doesn't help either.

Any suggestions?

Unusual :)
Try (from the sitemap) dragging the original page to the trash. When the prompt comes up to move it or copy it, select copy.
If I'm not mistaken, the original can then be changed to your new page layout without having effect on either your page ID or the copy in the trash.
When the old copy needs to be "resurrected", drag it to its new location and I believe it will generate a new page number.
No guarantees, but I think that will do it. Give it a try and let us know.

PS. It might be better to save it somewhere other than Trash. Just change page properties to exclude it from nav & sitemap (even edit your robots.txt if worried about it being crawled)
