Remove unnecessary blank page after creating an appendix, still not solved [closed]

Question

I have the same question as many others, which hasn't been thoroughly answered. I have an extra blank page between Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 (which is a figure).

I have tried:

\documentclass[11pt, openany]{article}

and

\documentclass[11pt, oneside]{article}

and

\makeatletter\@openrightfalse\makeatother

and

\csname @openrightfalse\endcsname

and

\let\cleardoublepage\clearpage 

which I tried in the preamble, right before the first appendix, and right before the blank page. None of these worked. (Although I get an error message with \makeatletter\@openrightfalse\makeatother). Does anyone have another idea, perhaps something that works generally and not just for books?
