Trick for Fixing Broken Sharepoint Pages

Hi All,

At times you may need to recover a page after a code change makes it impossible to render, or you might have some orphaned web parts (web parts that have been closed and not deleted) on a page that you need to restore.

You can try to open the page in Sharepoint designer in Maintenance mode.

To enter into Maintenance Mode ,
1) Usual Way : Open the browser and select the Page Tab on the ribbon menu. Then click the Edit Properties button. once the Menu changes, click the Open Webpart Page in Maintenance view link.

But, there may be some times , the page wouldn't get render due to some code changes done.

2) So the easiest way is by appending ?Contents=1 to the end of the page URL- for example. http://SharepointDesigner2010/default.aspx?Contents=1

Here you can delete the broken webpart to restore the page..



Thats it :D :) :)
