Link on Web Page not Reuseable After it’s Deleted?

do you have an image file with the name “dog”?

No I do not, just checked.

In that case, it should let you reuse the slug. Is example.com/dog a 404?

Now it goes back to my homepage.

Now it goes back to my homepage.

Do you have any plugin that may be “catching” deleted pages/posts and redirecting their slugs? Can you share your list of active plugins if you’re not sure?

I have another problem, I have a link that is .ORG/dog/ My wordpress is running on .COM, not .org

The .ORG/dog/ link has my last post on it, before I deleted it.

How did the page end up as a .ORG? I do have a .org but it’s not in use.

The rest of my pages are .com

Before proceeding any further:

1) Please provide the actual .com and .org addresses, so we can dig into this further for you.

2) Do both addresses belong to you?

Yes they they both belong to me. The .org has never been used, its redirected to the .com

policecrimes.com

policecrimes.org

Both domains are redirecting to a YouTube video titled “Police and FBI Don’t Want To Be Filmed Military Training – Brenham Texas” at my end.

Both sites resolve to the same address and point to a host in Australia.

/dog/ returns a 404.

Request URL: https://policecrimes.com/dog
Request Method: GET

If you add a new page or post and explicity set the slug to “dog”, does it complain?

Sorry the actual links are:

policecrimes.com/police/

policecrimes.org/police/

Wordpress should not be .org

OK, so the redirect is coming from WP:

Do you have any redirection plugins installed?

These are the only plugins I’ve used.

I have nothing redirecting the page .com/police/ The page is a .org now.

Status Code: “301 Moved Permanently,” how is this possible? I’ve never had WordPress on a .org site. How is it changing the .com to .org?

It does not mean your site has anything to do with wordpress.com;

This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.
