It’s my fault (I’m pretty certain)

Hi,

I made a new page on my site named “xxx” with the plan to replace an existing page which was called “about”. I then deleted the original “about page” and renamed my temporary “xxx” page to “about”. (I suspect this is very bad practice?!)

Anyways, everything worked as hoped, but now I have my product category filter, recently viewed products, and search bar appearing on the bottom of this new page when they shouldn’t be anywhere on this page. These widgets are used in my shop/products area but they don’t show up on any of my other non shop related pages (as expected). By default, I’ve left off the options to hide these widgets off my other pages as I never had a problem with them appearing so this is confusing. Also, I’m confused as to why these widgets are appearing at the bottom of the page when they are all set to sidebar placement.

If I rename my new page to something other than “about”, the problem goes away. So it seems there is a conflict and I’ve managed to break something. I could just rename the “about” page but I’d like to know if there is a possible answer to my baffoonery?

Apologies in advance for this as I can almost guarantee it’s completely my fault..!
