Renaming content type route 404 error

[hrvoje-grabusic]

Hi,

When renaming a ContentTypeRoute all pages that were created with that page type return 404.
The only way to fix it seems to be to delete the pages and recreate them.

I was confused by why i was getting empty pages after renaming the route.
I didn't expect the route to be saved in the database.

That should probably be documented.

Also maybe the the route should be updated when the page is saved or maybe an update all routes button in the settings.

As page & post types can have multiple routes available the selected route is always stored in the database, even if there’s only one available.

I’ll move this issue to the docs repo as it’s not a software issue.

I had this issue the other day. I'm sure there is a more elegant/recommended approach to fixing it, however I found updating the routes in the Piranha pages table fixed the problem.

UPDATE [dbo].[Piranha_Pages]
SET Route = '/new-route'
WHERE ROUTE = '/old-route'
