##### Error

A page already exists at ['http](http://www.tekumbrella.com/)://[www.domain\_name.com](http://www.domain_name.com)’. To change the URL, please click on the settings tab.

In settings, I have the [https://www.domain\_name.com](https://www.%5Bdomain_name.com) address, don’t know anything about an http:// address or setting. Very stuck on something that should be so simple.

Thanks

Go to Settings (⚙) \> Website \> Domains & URLs and ensure that [www.domain\_name.com](http://www.domain_name.com) is correctly set as the Primary domain. Check if [http://www.domain\_name.com](http://www.domain_name.com) is listed separately—if so, it may need to be removed or redirected. HubSpot automatically assigns both http:// and https:// to a connected domain, so the http:// version shouldn’t appear as a distinct entry. If it does, try removing it and making sure that [www.domain\_name.com](http://www.domain_name.com) is the only version listed to avoid any conflicts.

To help isolate the issue, could you provide more details or screenshots of the Domains & URLs settings and the exact error message you’re seeing? This will help determine whether the issue is related to domain setup, redirects, or something else within HubSpot.

Hi @JGreenfield, I’ve seen this issue when trying to publish a website with the same URL as another website that already exists in HubSpot, doesn’t matter if it’s published or not.  
For example, if you create a draft website page under the URL domain\_name.com/my-new-page and later on you try to create a new page using the same URL, the error you described will appear.  
I recommend you searching for any website page that already exists under the URL you want to use. It might be a page you drafted long time ago and it has been forgotten 🙂

Hi @albertsg

I was wrestling with an issue with the site (just published a week or so ago) and had a friend re-do it. So this sounds possible. I’ll poke around with this in mind. I thought he was just editing the existing page and couldn’t understand why the changes could be updated. Where would I find (and delete?) the original page? Wouldn’t it show up here?
