Usually it’s a validation error, or the parent doucment is not published yet.

I’m getting this error on a v16 build. On the pages where it’s happening, there’s no validation errors on the page and all the ancestors in the tree publish just fine. It’s a multi-lingual site.

Did it turn out to be validation @LinnPower or did you find something else?

Egg on my face right here… in my case it WAS a validation issue (just hidden behind a layer of tabs and block lists :melting_face:)

I have raised this as a bug - V16 poor validation messaging · Issue #19721 · umbraco/Umbraco-CMS · GitHub
