SharePoint 2007 | Web Part Maintenance Page | Existing WebPart ID error

- So you're building webparts and the page is crashing?

- Are you getting an annoying error that won't allow you to add your webpart saying:
"A Web Part with this ID has already been added to this page"

- Let's say your site is, for example:
"http://myspsite/default.aspx"

- You can add "?contents=1" to the browser's adress bar and try to remove some webparts or even all webparts if needed and the error is sure to go away
"http://myspsite/default.aspx?contents=1"

This one is kind of tricky to get to, but you can get it through the browser
- "Site Actions"
- "View All Site Content"
- "Pages"
- Hover a page, like "Default.aspx", click the arrow context menu on that file and select "Edit Properties"
- On the bottom of the editing page will se an option saying:
"Open Web Part Page in maintenance view"



Its amazing what you can find on a sharepoint test server homepage
