    Hi there,

    I have created a couple of pages each corresponding to a year: 2011, 2010, 2009…

    they each have a customized templates to display posts from categories 2011, 2010…

    my issue is the page slug would always have a -2 added to it

    and 2011-2 is pretty ugly

    I first thought I had duplicates and deleted my trash but no

    my guess is it conflicts with the archive.php maybe ? cause even if I rename the slug of the category 2011 it wont change a thing, still a -2 page permalink

    though I can create a post with a 2011 slug with no issue, so I don’t get why i can’t do the same with a page

    so what sould I do to have a site.com/2011 page ?

    please help! I really need assistance here…

    thanks !!!

    That would conflict with the date based archives, yes. The URL for a category would be /category/2011 and not /2011 (which would be ‘all posts in 2001’).

    You really don’t want to mess with the category slug, too, it has weird repercussions.
