Pages not migrated after username rename – old subdomain still serves content, new one is blank, disabling Pages returns 500

Description:
I renamed my account from Hadgim to RadimS. I then created a new, separate account named Hadgim, to keep my personal and work profiles apart. My repository fleet-notes has Pages enabled.

Current behavior:

  • The repository’s Pages settings show the new URL correctly: https://radims.codefloe.page/fleet-notes/. That URL loads, but the page is blank.
  • The old URL https://hadgim.codefloe.page/fleet-notes/ still serves the site content. It should no longer exist, because the Hadgim namespace now belongs to a different account.
  • Trying to disable Pages for the repository fails with HTTP 500 – “Something went wrong”.

Expected behavior:

  • After a username rename, Pages should be served only from the new subdomain (radims.codefloe.page).
  • The old subdomain should stop serving content, or redirect. This matters even more here because the old username has been taken by another account.
  • Disabling Pages should work without errors.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Account A has a repository with Pages enabled (a.codefloe.page/repo/).
  2. Rename account A → B.
  3. Register a new account with the old name A.
  4. Open b.codefloe.page/repo/: blank page.
  5. Open a.codefloe.page/repo/: old content is still served.
  6. Repository settings → disable Pages: 500 error.

Impact:
Content from one account is published under a subdomain owned by another account, which is a namespace and privacy issue. The site is unavailable at its correct URL, and I can’t disable Pages to work around it.

Already tried: pushing a new commit, testing in a private window, re-saving the Pages settings.

Environment: Codefloe web UI

Thanks for the detailed report.

Yes, this a bug in our Pages implementation, not something you did wrong.

A Pages site stayed published at the address it was created under, so renaming your account left the content under the old name and didn’t migrate it over. Disabling failed for the same reason.

The fix (PR #234) moves a site whenever an account or repository is renamed or transferred, removes it from the old address, and repairs sites that were already affected.
radims.codefloe.page/fleet-notes/ is now published and hadgim.codefloe.page/fleet-notes/ stopped serving your content.
