# Duplicate Chapters appeared

 * Though the chapters are organized in the Chapters tab as Introduction and Act
   I: Chapter 1 (Chapter 1 is nested in Act I), Chapter 1 is also appearing on its
   own as an un-nested selection.
 * This looks bad. Please help me to figure out how I can make the duplicate chapter
   go away. This seems to have occurred on its own with the latest Comic Easel update.
 * If there isn’t a easy update fix, please just let me know which file I can manually
   edit to remove the duplicate chapters as they appear, if more do appear.

 * I would need to see it, can you send me a URL or screencapture on what you’re
   talking about?

 * Thank you for your response. The site is here: [http://maxeem.com/lore/](http://maxeem.com/lore/)
 * Note the dark navigation bar and choose “Select Story”. You will see the rogue
   Chapter 1 floating above Act I and the well-behaving (nested) Chapter 1.
 * It could be my idealistic memory, however, telling me that it’s wrong. Not sure
   I noticed it before.

 * Okay I see the issue
 * If you are using parent chapters, you cannot put a # in the ordering for them
 * so only order the subchapters
 * forward 1
    introduction 2 chapter 1: 3 chapter 2: 4

 * That seems like a good idea. I removed the ordering from Act I and it defaulted
   to 0. I then ordered them as you suggested
 * forward 1
    introduction 2 chapter 1: 3 chapter 2: 4
 * As a result, it seems to have placed things in a good order but there is still
   the *extra* Chapter 1 at the top. Hmm.

 * That could be a bug in my code, looking into it.

 * Is there a safe way for me to edit a PHP file you suspect, if you find out? Please
   let me know, I am comfortable manually editing them if I get the okay from you.(
   I backup my site in a couple of ways.)
