Random numbers being added to slug

  • I downloaded Yoast yesterday, and now every time I edit a post to add the SEO information, it is adding -2 or -3 or -10 to the ends of my slugs. I have no idea why this is happening, but I don’t want a bunch of redirects on my site. I had my host look at it last night and correct the messed up slugs, but now I am back in adding SEO info to posts today and it is adding the numbers every time I open a post. HELP! I have posted in the Yoast forum with no feedback so thinking maybe someone knows here. May not even be a Yoast issue. I also updated to the newest version of WordPress and Genesis yesterday…

    For example…these did NOT have numbers at the end of the slugs and now they did. They were corrected yesterday, and now that I open them again today, it is adding the numbers again.

    Anyone know? I am about to throw my computer out the window…

  • I really thought it was something to do with the media/posts of the same exact name, but that wouldn’t explain the issue that you’re having with new randomly named posts. Nice blog by the way, I hope you get it sorted out!
