Wordpress permalink slug automatically changing and creating a new page - wordpress

I've never seen this happen before. I have a page and we can call it overview.
website.com/overview
This page has been called overview for 5 years and the slug has always been /overview
Then one day when I go to edit the page I navigate to website.com/overview and click the edit page button. I then see that the permalink slug has changed to /overview-2 and it won't let me change it back. Weird.
So I save it as /overview-2 and all related child pages and images switch to being associated to /overview-2.
Ok, this is the weirdest part. I then navigate to the original page website.com/overview and that page resolves to a new page that was created (new post ID) at the same time stamp as I saved the /overview-2 page.
I was able to recreate this issue when I noticed another page on the website do the same thing. We'll call it /another. This time instead on saving the page as /another-2 I went into the permalink settings and changed them back to default then back to post name. I navigate back to /another and it now has a new post id and the original page and all child pages and images are now associated with /another-2.
All plugs are up to date and core is running the newest 4.9.4 version of wordpress.
Anyone know what gives?

Cannot create Elementor Posts page in Wordpress although I have selected in Reading page

I want to use my Posts page with Elementor modules.
I have done my Homepage like that
but cannot do the same with Posts page.
I have created an empty page,
added some modules.
And selected this page as Posts page in Reading page.
But when I click a page on my website,
my Elementor Posts page is not seen,
the default Wordpress page is seen.
Update :
I'm using Neve theme on Wordpress v5.8
My website address is Tubefavorites.com
My homepage with Elementor and posts page with default Wordpress has different fonts
and my homepage and posts page's components are in different order.
(In homepage its Tags, Categories, ...
In my posts page its Tags, Last Posts, ...
I'm working online in browser (its not local).
There is no error on Chrome Console.
Update end.
Currently I'm trying this in Turkish pages.
I will make the English Elementor page after I fix this.
How can I fix this?
Thanks
Do you have Elementor enabled for post?
Thus, if I understood correctly, you have created a page post and want to add it as homepage. You should go to settings - reading and select via dropdown the page you have created! Then, you will see your page as homepage and not the default one
There is also an explanation in support forum, that someone has the same problem. Please read below:
"Looks like you’re trying to edit your Posts page that has been assigned in your WordPress Reading settings (Settings > Reading). If this is the case, you may not be able to edit the assigned Posts page directly with Elementor (Basic version).
You can try deselecting the page (in the “Posts Page” box within your Reading settings) then try editing this page with Elementor"
link to the source: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-load-posts-page-with-elementor/
Thus, disable your page through Settings - Reading, edit/modify (whatever you want) your Post page. After that, you could add your page blog posts URL to the meny item (or use this URL to wherever is nessecary)
EDITED
What plugin are you using for the translations?
I saw your homepage playing correct, right? Thus, you have selected your custom page correctly, through the Settings - Reading.
Now, if you want to see the same results in Turkish, you need to translate your home page too! So, add the translation in turkish language too, or duplicate the english version for turkish one and it will play!
UPDATED
I think there is an issue with the blog page (and single post template, as I am reading in WP forum for this theme). Try to check inside Appearence -> Customize, if there is any options there, thus could change the blog template. Somehow the theme overwrites your options. Furthermore, take a look at the blog theme's doc here:
https://docs.themeisle.com/article/1306-neve-blog-archive-options
I have learned that, I have to use Templates page, in Elementor Pro.
I didn't have been selected it.
Thanks to Hakkı Uçar for this
and for installing and for helping.

WordPress page redirection automatic tout homepage

I created a category in WordPress and I gave to this category the url of my blog page. It gave me a 404 error so i deleted the category. The problem is that now my blog page redirect to my homepage.
I don't know how to start . Any idea of what to do ?
You can start by ensuring the blog page is different from the homepage in dashboard->settings->reading
In your admin dashboard, go to Settings > Permalinks and make note of the current setting since you need to temporarily change it. Select the Plain radio button and click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.
Once saved, click the previous pretty permalink option you had and click Save Changes one more time.
Your permalink settings have been reset and you can check your blog page. You shouldn’t see any more 404 errors. Please check the blog page in other browser to prevent also the cache.

changing permalink 'next' page not found

In my site I have a custom post type advice and custom taxonomy advice-cat and all post in advice display in advice page I use next and prev link to limit post, display in every page, I limit it to display 5 post only in every page. It's working until I change the permalink into Custom Structure something like this /%category%/%post_id%, then when I click the next link to navigate the next page, it display page not found and then I try to change the permalink like this /post/%post_id%, the next page now back to work. and I try another structure like this /%author%/%post_id%`, the next page again not working.
anyone have and idea why if i use a permalink to be dynamic when I click the next link to navigate the next page, and error occur page not found.
First set permalink to post type. You can replace page.php file. It will help you to set permalinks again.

wp-ecommerce product links going to the wrong url

Hi I recently installed wp-ecommerce on a site i am working on. I had previously tried to change the page that the shop appears on by creating a new page and copying the shortcode from the original 'products-page' to my new page 'our-products'. Pretty pointless i realise now. I decided against this and just used the original page - but now when i go to 'products page' everything including the checkout etc works perfectly except when you click on a product to view it on its own page. it jumps to domain/our-products/... and the page is broken.
I tried to change all the settings in wp-options to the original page but it makes no difference. I went into phpmyadmin and found references to the 'our-products' eg the wrong page in the wp-options table. If i change these to the correct page should it work?
What is also weird though is when I delete the 'our-products' page the entire store stops working.
Here is the site product page: http://www.nuvogadgets.com/products-page/
Here is what happens when you click on a product: http://www.nuvogadgets.com/our-products/product-category/test-product/
Cheers Paul
Take a backup(!) and then install the Store Toolkit from Visser Labs, and relink broken pages from that.

Displaying a static wordpress home page. After this blog posts not showing up correctly

Through settings I set to show one static page (lets say I called it "static") as index page. And a blog page as a second page whch you can reach via menu. The static page is displayed just fine, but when I want to open any page with blog template (dynamic content) I get just the name "static", username and the date, and its displayed only once. Nothing more. I dont have an idea of where I could look for the problem.
Which wordpress version you are using?
Hope you done it like this(Double check it).
Settings > Reading > Front Page Display.
Then you select the "A static page" radio button. And sets both "Fron Page" and "Post Page".
Also for further investigation, can you provide the site link?
