Page permalinks

    Hello,
    In the course of troubleshooting a problematic page on my site, I trashed it (both as a page and from the nav menu), and then re-published it. Now the url for the page has a 2 onthe end of it:
    https://localhost:8080/wordpress/customer-care-2/

    If i go to edit the permalink in the dashboard for that page, it ignores my change and reverts to the above.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

  • Hi timsig,

    I had this problem a short while ago and was pulling my hair out. It does this because you have a page that already uses that Permalink. If you have recently trashed a page that would have used the same permalink, go in to your trash and permanently delete the page, then try and edit the permalink again. It should now work. The reason for this is that when a page is deleted, it still resides in the database, meaning the permalink is still technically in use until it is removed from the database.

    Hope this solves your problem.
