Create a Page in SharePoint sub site is not adding to the sub site but the Root site

I hope the post title did not confuse you. I hit this weird behaviour in SharePoint when I was in “www.sharepoint.com/subsite” trying to create a Page in “www.sharepoint.com/subsite/pages” library. The dialog shows URL of Root Site in “Find It at”

create a page not adding to correct site 1

If you proceed to create the page, it will be added into ROOT SITE! which is not what I wanted

Resolution

To avoid confusing and to make the “add a page” adds pages to the correct site. Please do the following:

  1. Go to your sub site setting page
  2. Go to “Navigation” under look and feel section
  3. Uncheck the field “
  4. Click “OK” an save

Once you have unchecked the field, your “add a page” is now adding to the correct subsite!
