 * Hi!!
    I have created a page but then I deleted it (don’t remember why). Now, 
   I have created another page with the same url, but it shows me “-2” at the end.
   I’ve emptied the recycle bin, just in case, but nothing, I can’t use de url I
   want. How can I reuse the url? Oh, I can not edit it either.
 * Thank you for your help!!!!

 * Hi
 * If you emptied the trash after creating the second page, the name will be the
   same, with -2. Edit the page slug removing the -2, it should work.
 * Hope it helps you
