Hi @skalanter,

After some more testing I managed to make it work.

Previously I was trying to create new templates in OceanWP library, but it didn’t help at all.

Yesterday I decided to delete English front page instead of header template. Then I created new page, attached header template I created earlier and at last it started to work.
I didn’t dig into database, but it seams that somewhere in the old page it was keeping reference to old template and I didn’t find a way how to update it.

I hope it won’t brake again.

Thanks for your time.

p.s. Polylang plugin authors didn’t response at all ??

@skalanter, in actual website there are three languages, it has headers for each language, but the error is the same. It doesn’t show a template assigned to that language. This video is fastest way to reproduce error with minimum plugins involved. And the problem on the main website is the same as it is in this video at 4:09. In customizer’s preview it shows proper template, but it disappears when is published 4:17

Hi @skalanter,

Yes, I contacted Polylang plugin author, but didn’t get response yet. I am not sure it is their issue, because I am not making any setup in that plugin.
Finally I made a video which I hope will help you to reproduce an error

I am using default WP installation with OceanWP theme and Ocean Extra plugin.

If you won’t be able to reproduce it. I can create a copy of this test website with Duplicator and share with you.

@skalanter ,
I was asked to fix a website which has polylang setup. But to reproduce an error you don’t need to do anything with polylang. It is enough to have it installed.
I narrowed a list to two plugins Ocean Extra and Polylang.

The problem arise when you delete old template and want to replace it with new one. The theme is still tries to load old template which was deleted. Here is a screenshot – https://postimg.cc/d73r3mM0
Template with id 6 is deleted and a new template is assigned (id = 16), but somewhere in database still there is a field with id 6.

Later I will try to create a video with all steps

I found it! You need to set a page to Custom Home Page template!

Just upgraded to 2.9.1 and it is not working either. What is best alternative would be?

Yesterday installed v2.0 and have the same problem – scheduled post for midnight, but it didn’t appear on twitter.
Is it still not fixed? I am using WP v2.8.1

I think I got where was problem. As I was doing manual upgrade to 2.8, forgot to copy .htaccess file.

Had the same problem – couldn’t access my posts using permalinks. After I posted new post on my blog, old post links started work again. So I still don’t know what was causing problem, but at least it disapeared for now. May be it will help you too.
