Realize this is an old post but I had exact same problem today using RedDot 7.5 and this is how I solved it. Posting here b/c I could not find answers anywhere and this may help someone else who's "tearing their hair out" like I was :)
My page 6331 was ignoring its publication package and overwriting our main corporate homepage at the Root level. NOT GOOD! ERROR message found in Publishing Log: “Page 6331 is not linked in HTML/ENU” (HTML/ENU is name of our Project Variant). Weirder still, this page 6331 was like a "ghost page" - if I did a Search for the page ID, I could get to it easily and see it connected as a page beneath an anchor reference, which was referenced to the same page. But if I then expanded and contracted the anchor link, the page 6331 completely DISAPPEARED from the tree. Only way to see it again was to pull it up from the clipboard. Reasons were: 1) The bad page 6331 had the SAME header name and the SAME filename as its twin, the “good homepage” 2) The bad page was not actually linked anywhere in the project tree but kept showing up. 3) We tried again and again to delete it from everywhere it was referenced. But b/c it had same header & filename as a good page, we could not delete the reference that we NEEDED to get rid of. 4) Finally, we renamed the headline of the "bad" page and gave it a different filename. THEN we were able to delete it, no problem. 5) When we did a search for Page ID 6331 then and did "Display reference in tree", we saw it was now in the Recycle Box, which is where it should have been from the start. 5) We could now go to our "good" homepage and publish it. No longer did our good or bad homepage overwrite our Root homepage. My advice: 1) Do a search in your project for any page where [headline=(your bad page headline here)] and check EACH of those pages that come up. Esp do the "Display reference in tree" for each of them so you can see where they 'live' in your project. 2) Find out the filename you have set for this 'bad' page. While on the Project node, select "Display all filenames" and scroll down to that filename. This shows you all pages in tree that have THAT filename assigned and doubtless you have more than 1 such filename in there. One or both of the above will confuse RedDot - or at least this was the case for us. Hope this helps someone.
