Cannot change permalink/slug "-2" appends automatically
-
So I created a page and I am 100% sure that the permalink of the page was /go/install-and-license-version-1-5/. I am sure because I copied that link into a bunch of emails and sent it out.
Today I was updating the text in the page and when I pressed the Update button the permalink changed to /go/install-and-license-version-1-5-2/.
If I goto /go/install-and-license-version-1-5/ it gives me a 404 error.
This is what I have already tried.
- Deleted thrash
- Deleted drafts
- Tried to recreate a new page with the same permalink, it makes it /go/install-and-license-version-1-5-2-2/
- On Yoast SEO tried to create a redirect and receive the following message “The old URL already exists as a redirect.”
- I checked and see no redirects created in yoast or .htaccess.
EDIT: I searched the database and found the following in wp_options
SELECT *
FROMxxxxxx.wp_options
WHERE (
CONVERT(option_id
USING utf8 ) LIKE ‘%go/install-and-license-version-1-5%’
OR CONVERT(option_name
USING utf8 ) LIKE ‘%go/install-and-license-version-1-5%’
OR CONVERT(option_value
USING utf8 ) LIKE ‘%go/install-and-license-version-1-5%’
OR CONVERT(autoload
USING utf8 ) LIKE ‘%go/install-and-license-version-1-5%’
)Any help?
