Page copying fails

Question

I have a problem with copy/paste action in the episerver tree.

When I try to copy and paste a page the background job is run, however it fails with an error:

Failed to copy the page "Test Content page" beneath the page "Home".

Have you ever come across such a situation? Is it a matter of rights maybe?

Answer 1

I've had this issue before. It was because the Page Type of the child page was not in the available page types of the parent page.

You can check this by looking at your home page type in admin mode, clicking the settings button and then selecting the available page types tab. Ensure the page type of your test content page is allowed.

if you are using pagetype builder you will also need to update your page type in code.

Answer 2

Is it a single page or a partial tree? If it's a tree it could still be problem with subpages whose types aren't allowed under your copied page or it's subpages.
