This article describes a known issue that makes it impossible to publish pages with "Link to Page" type, when Page Versioning is enabled.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a new Site.
  2. Activate Staging with Page Versioning enabled (public or private).
  3. Create an empty page.
  4. (only on 6.2) Create a page, but this time select "Link to a Page of This Site" and select the previously created page.
  5. (only on 6.1) Create a page, but this time change the type to "Link to a Page" and after the page has been added, edit it and select the previously created page in the "Link to Page" field.
  6. Go to the Site's Staging side and confirm that the second page redirects you to the first one.
  7. On the first page click on "Mark as Ready for Publication".
  8. Publish the Site with default settings (publishes all pages by default).
  9. Check the Live Site

Result

The second page with type "Link to Page" is missing.
