My page has three different URL addresses

I can't tell which page I am looking at. How do I get rid of two and keep the one I want? or edit the address?

Here are the three URL's--

  1. If I click on the HOME link in the left menu I am directed to the address below. This is problematic. Even though it shows the Course ID in the URL correctly,  on the page itself, the title of the course appears twice (screenshot below). The code does not show any repetitions. HOME page: https://canvas.lawrenceville.org/courses/12061
  2. If I click on the PAGES link in the left menu, it sends me here: https://canvas.lawrenceville.org/courses/12061/wiki
  3. If I click on the page I elected as front page from the VIEW ALL PAGES list, I see this: https://canvas.lawrenceville.org/courses/12061/pages/honors-french-fall-2024-2

    The pages loads with all navagation links, but in the first one, the Course Title appears twice. Pic below.

    To recap, I believe I have one page but the linking has created three addresses and the main problem is that the home page has the issue, the other navigation links are intact. 

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @SangeetaDhawan 

  1. The links to the page will include the location where you are viewing the page. If the page is set as your home page, you will see the page when you click on Home in the course menu. The coding in the system will identify your home page selection as a page you created. All this is done in the background. The page itself will not be identified in the link when you click on Home.
  2. Since you selected a page as your home page, you will see it when you click on Pages in the course menu. Setting a page as a front page will automatically change the view when first clicking on Pages to show the home page selection instead of a list of pages you created. When you click on Pages in the course menu, it will take you to the pages index page. Showing the front page is in the coding that happens in the background. It is not a direct link to the page itself.
  3. After clicking View All at the top, you will see the list of individual pages. Selecting the page you chose as your home page will take you to the page directly. The URL will reflect the path to the page > course - pages index page - page title.

If you added the page to a module and you clicked on the page via modules, you would see yet another URL for the same page.

You will always see the course title at the top of your home page when you click on the Home tab in the course menu. If your first title on the page you set as your front page is the same as the course title, you will see the same title twice when clicking on Home in the course menu. If you do not want to see the title twice, you might want to consider editing the page and changing the title you entered in the page content.

I hope the above explanations clarify the different URLs you see for the same content item.
