WordPress keeps adding “-2” to URL slug

  • Hey,

    I’m currently writing a post that I want to give the slug “coindiligent(DOT)com/best-cryptocurrency-wallets”.

    However, for some reason each time I save it, it auto changes to “coindiligent(DOT)com/best-cryptocurrency-wallets-2”.

    The weird thing is, as you can see, there is no content at “/best-cryptocurrency-wallets” so I don’t understand why this is happening?

    I already looked for help in many other forums.

    The following two solutions were suggested:

    – look if you have an image/file called “best cryptocurrency wallets”
    – look if there is a post/page in your drafts/trash with that slug

    Both didn’t work since (1) there is no image/file with that url, and (2) there also isn’t a post/page with that url.

    Is there anything I am missing or do you have any other suggestions?

    I’m out of options at this point

    Appreciate your help a lot

  • Do you have any tag or category with that same slug?

    What Joy said ^

    Check the trash for any posts as well. You will need to permanently delete a post with the same slug.

    Unfortunately nothing in tags/categories or trash as well :/

    Is there something like “trash” but for media files? I think that I might have had an image once with the same slug, and then deleted it.
