    Hi, I am running a scientific journal in WP. Internet disconnected when I was creating a page. Now I cannot delete this element (screenshot). Everything else seems to work fine, new articles can be added. I tried cleaning the WP cache. Can someone please suggest what else can be done to eliminate the “empty” item?

    Hi @serjves , I understand how frustrating this must be. Could you please clarify what element you are trying to remove?

    Are you referring to the list item that looks like this: (•) or the title of the page?

    If it is the list item, try this:

    • Click at the end of the bullet (•) and press Enter
    • → WordPress should create a new list item below it. Type anything in the new bullet (even a single letter)
    • Now move back to the first empty bullet
    • Press Backspace

    That should delete the previous item, so now you can start afresh.

    Cheers,

    Jim

    Hi @jamesgreat,

    You are right, I am speaking about this bullet. However, this is not what I can see and access in the editor. This is the non-editable html page as it appears for any reader. In fact, the bullet is apparently generated, and in a published articles it appears in the like with the authors (please see the page https://ijcsi.pro/archive/2026-vol-15-issue-2/). So, I cannot just press Enter. This seems to be a “blank” item which was created but not populated due to the internet failure, and now it cannot be deleted.

    Hi @serjves, thank you for your reply. Have you considered creating a new page and copying over the content you previously entered?

    Cheers,

    Jim
