General ramblings from a SharePoint MVP about SharePoint and Microsoft technologies related to collaboration, web content management and productivity.

Publishing Page Settings Errors

I often find that after I migrate a site from one URL to another the publishing pages retain their reference to the original page layouts. This causes a problem when you try to open the Page Settings page.

Fellow MVP Gary Lapointe has written a number of STSADM Custom Extensions and solved this problem with his Fix Publishing Page URL command.

I followed the guidance of my friend Travis and used the following query to identify the affected pages. Just create a new Content and Structure Report and enter the following CAML query:

<Where><BeginsWith><FieldRef Name="PublishingPageLayout" /><Value Type="URL">http://oldurl</Value></BeginsWith></Where>

Replace "oldurl" with the URL you are looking for.

Thanks Guys!
