I'm running DNN 9.0.8, and I've come across an issue with my site. I'm not sure when it first started happening. It could have possibly been after upgrading recently, but I'm not sure.

All site pages look and perform fine, except for the Terms and Privacy pages. Those two pages are displaying outdated content from some prior version of the modules or somewhere else entirely, and displaying the wrong skin. I can't enter edit mode for those pages from the DNN interface. Deleting the pages and creating new ones doesn't fix the issue. Even with the pages deleted (and removed from the recycle bin), the content still appears and the corrupt pages are still accessible (it doesn't display a 404 page).

Has anyone seen this issue, or does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

Did you have custom Terms and Privacy pages - did you create them as a DNN page?
Its possible that the setting for redirecting to those pages got lost.
Check under admin - all your pages/names to see.
If you find them there its just a simple redirect in site setting to fix.

Did you set the Privacy and Terms page in the Site Settings? (I'm guessing you meant 9.8.0, not 9.0.8)

Yes, they were custom pages. Specifying the pages under Site Settings > Site Behavior > Default Pages doesn't fix the issue.

Yes. It still displays incorrectly with it set there. Yeah, you're right 9.8.0.

Just to double check: it is not the same content as in site settings - languages- weird symbol that indicates multi language-globalresources - global resources?

Because that is the usual spot.
And yes you can have other pages appointed but if the theme is built another way, it could be bypassing things.

Yes, you're right. I actually forgot to mention that I discovered that the text is coming from there. However, DNN still won't let me override the pages using the urls for "/privacy" or "/terms".
