Question

WordPress page is listed in "Posts" but appears on site as a "Page", What gives?

Answer 1

A:

your may read this on body class functon, this function usually used by theme developer. It directly output class according to theme developer input. It seem the theme developer only use one file (page.php) to show page and post. (and it's better approach to create single.php to show a post).

So, the output will be like you describe.

Answer 2

+1 A:

Well I found the answer with a little more digging. Here's what's happened:

The site owner had originally created this post as a "Page". He then deleted this "page" and re-created it as a "post" with the same post slug as the one he had deleted.

As long as the deleted page had the same post slug as the new "post", Wordpress was presenting the content in the "page.php" template and not the single.php template.

The only way I could get it to work was to go to the Page's Trash listing and click "delete permanently" on the original page.
