Umbraco unpublished Content fallback?

We have an issue relating to “Unpublished Content” on our Umbraco (7.154) site:

Our setup

We have one Umbraco installation (7.154) which hosts multiple sites: each site appears as a "level 1" node, with its content/pages as "child nodes" appearing underneath.

Each site has a “Domain” set under “Culture and Hostnames” (New account here, can't display images directly):

Site A - Node Hierarchy

Site B - Node Hierarchy

Under each Site, there is a “Forgotten Password” node with a similar Path (relative to its site root):

• Site A: “Home/Forgotten Password” (unpublished node).

• Site B: “Home-****/Forgotten Password” (published node).

The Issue

On site A, when any hyperlink pointing to the “Forgotten Password” (relative path) is followed it resolves instead to the SiteB “Forgotten Password” node.

My understanding is that Umbraco URLs are resolved by a NodeID reference in the Umbraco DB: so these nodes should be unique despite having the "same" name.

Could this behaviour be Umbraco searching (by Node Name) for a "fallback" that is published?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Are you sure that it is actually resolving with the other node? Try outputting in the template the CurrentPage Id, because there's another mechanism that before resolving to a 404 error searches for a template with the same name (maybe in your case ForgottenPassword) – Eyescream
Thanks for your response. I'll look into this. – anotherWebDev

They should as you mention be unique. THings I suggest you try:

  1. You could try clearing the cache. This could be corrupted somehow. In the backend, settings, examine, clear the indexes for external

  2. Check your code, maybe it's a typo or something.

  3. Are you using route-hijacking in our controller. If so if you hit a break point, what ID is being passed into it from Umbraco.
