Dear All,

Please excuse my ignorance for asking the below questions.

The linked video shoes the below issues I need help with.

Issue 1  
I changed the home page of my project and deleted the old homepage. Now I am unable to preview the the new homepage in the browser. I always get redirected to another page.

Issue 2  
I am using .php files insted of .html. Every time I cretae a new .php file the browser doesnt navigate to the page instead it downloads the page.

Hi @mmohdher,

Nice to hear from you again, and I hope things are going well!

Now, on to your problems…

Issue 1.  
It looks like you have two different pages named “index.php” at the root of your site. Make sure the other page has a folder name.

 ![CleanShot 2025-05-16 at 11 .33.31@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/a/0/a042e4871bdf30ca9d28bdbf3e639aea932b6f97.jpeg)

Issue 2.  
That’s an odd one. Can you try switching the page extension to lowercase to see if it solves the issue? So try `.php` instead of `.PHP`.

Let me know if that resolves the issues for you 🤞

Failing that, send me your project (via [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) Cloud), and I’ll take a look and get the issues resolved 😊

Cheers!
