    Home Page Broken after Upgrading

    I just upgraded to 5.1.0
    The last two times I have upgraded our forum (this time and to 5.0.5), the home page works until I try to edit it. Once exiting the Edit function it is broken. It just refreshes on the link# and nothing comes up. At this point my header, sidebar ads, forum list etc. are all gone. I believe there is an error in the html somewhere that keeps carrying over, but I can't find it once the Edit popup no longer works. Last time I managed to create a new home page that had everything I wanted and then use the rewrite rule to point to the this new page called "home." It looks like I will have to do that again.
    Any ideas how I can resolve this?

    I can get into the page manager and editors if I go to /forums/forum

    I created a new page at forums/api. I am having trouble redirecting the previous forums/home to this new page. I'd like to just delete the previous /home page I created and replace it with the one at /api, but I don't know where to find this page! Any help is much appreciated.

      Had you manually edited the location of the homepage/forum index in an earlier version?
      So it was something other than /

        Yes. Last time I upgraded, I had this same issue. I had to go to another page to be able to get into the page manager, etc. Same experience this time. So I created a page and then used the rewrite steps in this post: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/artic...stom-home-page

          I would prefer the homepage to be at /
          I've been using a work around for awhile now. If you can help me get it corrected, I'd be grateful!

            Right now, if I go to your site I am redirected to http://www.attachmentparenting.org/forums/api . What happens if you rename that page to just http://www.attachmentparenting.org/forums/ ?

            If I post CSS and you don't know where it goes, throw it into the additional.css template.

              It tells me "This URL is already used. Please correct this problem." The same message if I try to save it as forums/home.

                  It sounds like something is messed up in your database. You can put a ticket in attention to me and include admincp logins and phpMyAdmin logins and I can take a look.
