Pages missing from sitemap

Permalink
I am an Admin user on v5.4.2.2. I was unable to "Add Page" to a page on the nav bar. It said "Access Denied". I tried to change the permissions and changed the page from "Manual" to "Page Type Defaults in Dashboard"

Now, the page on the nav bar and sub pages are hidden from view, both from the user view and the sitemap. I do not have a way to change back the Permissions. I doubt the page is deleted.

More important problem: When users log on they get dropped onto the missing page so now users cannot access the website.

I have a call out to my hosting provider, but thought I'd see if there was something I could do on my side.

My host provider updated the permissions in the dashboard only, and did not at any point change permissions on the public-facing pages, so the sub-page permissions must have been at fault here. They re-opened permissions on the page, and updated the sub-page permissions to allow us to add all page types except for Home types, and Pb Post types

The issue is now resolved
