 * Does anyone know how to clear a WordPress permalink?
 * I made a page with a permalink of “domain.com/news” I deleted it and now want
   a category with the news slug, again “domain.com/news” but wordpress keeps reassigning
   the category slug to be “domain.com/news-2”.
 * How do I “clear” that news permalink and tell wordpress that I want to use it
   for a category instead?
