Pages being automatically renamed

    Whenever I create a Page, or edit an existing page, that page gets re-titled to a specific name (Forums) and the page order gets set to a specific number (5). Sometimes the privacy also gets reset to Password Protected. It would appear that the default has been reset to a specific page setting. I can’t seem to find a way stop this happening, or understand why it is happening in the first place.

    Have you tried:
    – Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches.
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the unedited default Twenty Fifteen theme for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
    – If all the above steps do not resolve the issue, then try MANUAL updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old copies of files & folder on your server before uploading the new ones. Read the Manual Update directions first.
    – If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong.

    Thank you – problem solved – it was Chrome auto-filling forms – clearing all browser history did the trick.
