Hi guys,

In Wordpress, I'm trying to name a page: "management"

but it keeps automatically re-naming the page to: "management-2"

There are no other pages or posts (or anything) that is already named "management" so I'm stumped.

Any idea WHY this might be happening?

Thanks!

    You currently or previously named a page or post "management". It adds a hyphen and number on the end so you don't have two urls with the same address. You might be able to go into your database, search for it, then remove. Back up your database first.

      I think if you have a deleted page (designated w/o the dash) still left in the "Trash" folder, it will name the new page a "-2", unless you empty the trash first.

        Thank you! I didn't realize that I had an old page with the same name in the trash... and I didn't know it needed to be "permanently" deleted.

        Thanks again!
