 * Hi [@knowislamnow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/knowislamnow/) 
   It sounds
   like a permissions issue rather than a problem with the page itself. First, make
   sure your account has **Administrator** access and that the email address in 
   your WordPress profile is correct. Check your Spam or Junk folder in case the
   notification was filtered. If everything looks correct, try temporarily disabling
   any security or user-permission plugins, as one of them may be blocking edits.
   If the issue continues, let me know whether you’re using **WordPress.com** or
   a self-hosted WordPress site and whether the message appears when you click **
   Edit** or **Update**.
