I cannot still give out a full 5 stars rating as it’s just a “prune slugs” and not a “slugs manager”. Plugin title is kinda misleading. With a “slugs manager” i’m expecting to manage my slugs and see my slugs. Original review was: In description i see You also might have tried to create a post but WordPress decided to add “-2” to the slug, because the exact same slug is available in the database from an old, deleted post. Ok, i have that issue. Plugin installed and… No old slugs found in database. How am i supposed to fix? i have an orphan slug ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/db42e1cf9d77f8bb6b2ff1faa1e0a814924ef72b6407cf83ab0b099f2bb12568? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Everything works](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/everything-works-22/)󠁿 [dizzy5](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dizzy5/) June 18, 2021 1 reply Good plugin. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/686bbaad23c0f3a208c5a39865a42a1fdc8bddbb3ae6ed267a6f0c2b5999e5ef? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-support-3171/)󠁿 [ewoolution](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ewoolution/) November 4, 2020 1 reply Works just fine 🙂 – Great support as well! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e1eb7933d925add3229509bf700cecc31a0eb4d68b010c8160118472fb9b2daf? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great help](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-help-169/)󠁿 [Surlofia サアロフィア](https://profiles.wordpress.org/surlofia/) October 21, 2020 5 replies This software helped me out from deleting unexpected URL.
