Thanks so much for your responses …
I trashed and emptied all “dashboard” pages … Finally I was able to create a page called dashboard … BUT …. when I type that in – it automatically goes to a different url (dashboard_ol) which was a page that was trashed?
The dashboard_ol — does not exist so the page is a 404 – BUT – the new page dashboard does exist … and I can’t get there!
I tried with 3 browsers (and cleared the cache) then tried on another computer… So I am guessing this is in the database … and I am not so sure I want to play with that!
Thanks for your help!
