Hi Guys,
\nApologises in advance as I am still learning about WP… but..
\nYour plugins were set up with the events slug, which I changed to classes (they also had some pages I didn’t need: locations, categories)…. however as I didn’t do this in a development site there are now old pages showing in google that are 404 (as I never used and deleted) I have since enabled a development plugin in but obv google still thinks they are there… two questions:
\n1. What would you suggest is the best way to sort my google search…. a) just wait b) re-make the pages I deleted but get them to point to somewhere useful?
\n2. I haven’t been backing up as much as I should (will do in future) I have been using a child theme tho, so when things have gone wrong I have just deleted the child theme… reverted back to a WP std theme and then started again… in the process of the themes being changed these preset pages (domain\/events\/locations etc) show again in the menu. I will try and back up better in future but if ever I swap themes I am worried these redundant pages will pop up again… so this is kind of connected to the first question… is there anyway to get rid of these hard-wired pages or should I just point them to something useful?<\/p>\n

Hope this makes sense?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1143767","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nPre-loaded pages and change of slug -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/pre-loaded-pages-and-change-of-slug\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Pre-loaded pages and change of slug -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi Guys, Apologises in advance as I am still learning about WP… but..
