Pages not working for existing Repositories after Renewal of Github Education

Bug

Body

I have a Github Education plan (which includes github Pages). This was renewed in mid-December. Now I have the problem that existing repositories are no longer available in github pages.

When I create new repositories, I can use Pages as normal, as usual. Only existing pages don't work. The following message appears:
"Your billing plan does not support private pages. To restore this page, change its visibility to public or upgrade your billing plan."

The Page visibility is set to Public.

Hey @Hundecode! Thanks for reaching out :)

Since your GitHub Education benefits expired and renewed, this would have affected your ability to use GitHub Pages with private repositories.

To republish your site, you’ll need to configure your Pages sites from the settings page. Once there, you’ll need to select a source branch to enable GitHub Pages for the repository.

Hope it helps :)

Dear @mecodeatlas,

thank you for the tip.

The problem is, that I cannot configure the pages sites from the settings page.
Everything in the documentation after Step 5 is not possible.

Pretty sure that this is a bug as it works for new repositories.

I added a screenshot that shows that there is no possibility to change settings.

I have this issue as well. Hoping for a fix
