Custom attribute automatically reset

Permalink
Hi Guys
I'm building a website which have a multilingual part. The website is almost done. But I'm facing a strange problem. While looking into dashboard, I can see that some system & settings pages are shown into the dashboard directly. You can see the screenshot1.png for reference.

To solve this, I was trying to set the attribute "Exclude from Nav" to true. It works fine for then but on the next day it just reset all attribute settings and shown them again on dashboard.

This is not only happening in dashboard but also on sitemap as well. There are many pages in the sitemap, but I want few of them to show in main site navigation. So just set those other pages as "Exclude from Nav", same thing happen for them as well. Works fine for the first time but suddenly on next day while checking the site again, I saw the mess again.

Can anyone please help me!

If you take the same site, same code, and run it on a different server or dev system, does it give the same problem?

(ie. is it a c5 issue or a server issue?)

Hi John
I've checked it with other server. Also I do have a local setup. It is doing like same in all environment.

FYI I'm using Bluehost VPS.

My first thought on limiting page access in the dashboard would have been to create a 'limited-administrators' group and use page permissions to prevent access. Exclude from nav will only limit what is visible, not what can be executed. So someone knowing the address of an excluded page can still use it.

Actually I'm not concerning about limiting the access as there will be only 1 admin user who can access everything. The dashboard pages showing all the system & settings pages which is not usual. Though I can overlooked that as it doesn't make that much of harm.

But my main concern is for sitemap pages. There are several pages but I want few of them listed into the menu. So I set exclude from nav of remaining pages as usual. It works fine for first few hours or lets say a half day. But all of in sudden it just unchecked that checkbox in properties tab and shows all the pages which looks the navigation clumsy and breaks the design.
