Presumably scribblehub is remembering that it had been previously published, so if you copy and paste it to a new chapter then it may work. Alternatively it remembers the name and if so you may need to publish it with a slightly different name.
Name shouldn't matter, I just checked if I could have two chapters in my drafts with the same name and I didn't get any errors (no: all chapters must have a unique name)

Copy and paste it to a new one, like TransCat said.

Also, how's your language learning progress, Faqih?

Which one?, Spanish or Japanese?.

The English one, dummy.

There are still errors in how you type.

use google docs and set it to either British English or American English.
It is really good tool in correcting spelling and grammar.

But beware of words that are different only by one letter
have/gave
dog/hog
how/now

Those might be picked up or may not depending how strongly they would make no sense in the sentence.

English is fun, we have a whole host of words that sound the same but are spelled differently and have hugely different meanings. Spellchecker will not catch these.
I would suggest learning these words and their usage.

Two/To/Too.
Their/There/They're.
Your/You're.
Whether/Weather.

 

[Suczka]

Whether/Weather.

Those two always confuse me.

Google docs while checking grammar may detect that it is a wrong word based on context of the sentence.
It saves me whenever I mistype then/than with 100% accuracy.
Other similar words have over 95% accuracy.
So I'm pretty satisfied with it.
Just remember to set which English dialect you are writing in. Because if you write in British English and have set American English which is default English for some unknown reason it will show you lot of grammar and spelling mistakes that are false.

Color — American
Colour — British

It's still easy compared to my language,so i pretty much know the difference between them

While it's generally frowned upon to delete and then republish a chapter, regardless of the reason, I would at least wait for a short period if you do elect to delete the chapter. I've done it before but I generally wait a few days. I have a tiny readerbase here though, so it doesn't bug me much. (Actually surprises me that I have any readers at all here seeing as I'm not writing porn).

A published chapter only gets one "notification" moment. Or, in other words, you only get one opportunity for that linked chapter to appear on the front page. Once that moment happens, the system does not repeat said notification no matter how many times you edit the chapter. Hence why it's frowned upon, as you could essentially just spam you chapter over and over every so often to put it on the front page. If you do perform such an act, I will flame you and your story might actually get delisted from a snarky report (For legal reasons, this is not a threat from me. I'm lazy and honestly don't care. I'll flame you because you're desperate and an idiot for doing it.)

That aside, I recommend taking the L and moving on. Finish writing the chapter then edit it in. Leave an author's note in the meantime apologizing for your mistake and let your readers know to check back later in the week or when the following chapter gets posted.

Actually i decided not to republish my chapter, its just one chapter after all. I just need to publish new chapter.

I know that, but good person always tell me that i have an error, and i dont know where, he's not point it out too. which is very selfish in my perspective.

No, it's not selfish.

It's:

I was busy, alr?

So, give me the chap you want me to correct and point out mistakes.
