I'm referring to the settings tab in the page edit form, in there is the 'Parent' field. When a new page is created this is blank (according to its template), but once populated you cannot make it blank again. I wanted to make it blank so that it no longer appeared as child in the parent page. I didn't want it as a child to anything as I had tweaked my system so that this parent found its children programmatically. My eventual workaround was to create a dummy hidden parent and link the relevant children to that. Setting the template to not allow children did not work retrospectively, so that was not a solution. My context was this: I had a site with a parent page (a race list) with lots of children (individual races), but each time a child page was added it had to be manually linked to its parent. Lots of different people where adding child pages and often 'forgot' to add the link. The child pages were all of a particular template type so I tweaked the parent page template code to find them dynamically. This resulted in duplication of the existing child links. So I wanted to clear them and found I could not. This is a link to the parent page - https://merciafr.club/races/ - the 'All Races' list is what is now created dynamically.

I have a parent page with lots of links to child pages. These pages are now set programmatically so I want to remove the children links from the parent page. I do not want to delete the children pages, just unlink them. I cannot find how to do that. How do I do it?

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, a search yielded 190 pages of results so not helpful. Anyway... I have changed the email address in WireMail Gmail but when I do a test its still using the old one, I cannot find any caches relevant, how do I make it use the new address? TIA
