Duplicate privacy-policy already exists

[MattW]

Affected version

2.0.6 Beta 1

If you already have a help page with the URL portion "privacy-policy" the new update to 2.0.6 Beta 1 will over write this and not give any warning. I've lost my existing version, so now need to recover it.

Can't see how it would have overwritten it, as apparently it errors (which we fixed for the next release):

It's definitely over written it Chris.

I'm not doubting it was overwritten (sorry, my previous post was worded poorly). What I'm most confused about is how it didn't error like in the previous example.

Glad you've recovered it. My recommendation is to move the custom HTML to the privacy_policy_text phrase from 2.0.6 onwards and change the privacy policy URL option to just point to "Default".

Thanks Chris. That's what I've just done, and it's all sorted now
