I have a custom Sharepoint 2007 site definition with custom content types for the different page layouts. When editing a page using a custom layout from the main "View all contents" tree view, the page content type is fine, but if I view the page directly and edit it from there, the content type gets stripped and replaced with "Page." I can change it back by viewing and editing it from the main list, but not from its subsite home location.

A: 

Check "Page layouts and site templates" in site settings - the layout may not be an available option on the subsite.

Thank you for commenting, Tom! The subsites are currently set to "inherit preferred layouts from parent site." The parent site is set to use all layouts. It's a mystery.
