    Ok, so i was having a strange permalink issue i posted here http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=412782 that i can't solve. So i decided to delete the pages that were affected and just recreate them to start over. But i tried deleting those pages and they won't delete! When i click delete in my WP admin they disapear. then i go to the site and they are still there. then i go back to the admin and they are back in my list of pages! i am thinking this may be related to my original problem. how can i fix this? thanks!!

    have you tried deleting them via phpmyadmin?

    also try clearing your cache etc.

    Someone posted about a similar problem a few weeks ago.
    As far as I remember, it was solved by enabling (or disabling?) javascript in your browser options.

    you should find phpmyadmin in cpanel under mysql section.

    if you dont have phpmyadmin installed there is this plugin available > http://www.silpstream.com/blog/wp-phpmyadmin/

    once in phpmyadmin you will have to browse to your db and then browse throught the post table (i think its called wp_posts (wp_ will be whatever you set table prefix to)) then check the ones you want to delete and click delete down bottom of page.

    PS - make a database backup first!! results of accidently deleting something can cause mayor errors to your site

    I had this problem and the way I resolved it was that I deleted the db and used an old back up that did not have the pages I didnt want. You are maybe not so lucky that you have that old back up?
