Try giving the post a slightly different title.
I have already tried adjusting the title but for every new post I create the same thing happens.
No – not adjusting the title on a post you have already published. Delete that post, empty your post Trash and re-publish it using a slightly different title.
Ok I just emptied my trash and also recreated the category but still it creates a permalink identical to that of our About page
It is automatically creating one http://www.dayofwomen.org/about
Have you tried:
– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
– switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
thank you i will try all of the above!
I have tried all of the above (including deleting the inactive plugins entirely) and still each time – even when using the twentyeleven theme each new post autosaves with the same url.
I have even tried deleting the page that the the posts keep linking too and it still occurs – however now as the page no longer exists it is saying no posts found when you click read more.
What is the title of this post?
Your Inner Voice: Friend or Foe?
But even when I tried using something similar or entirely different it still didn’t work
Try resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting via Settings -> Permalinks. If this works, then review Using_Permalinks before setting a custom permalink structure back up again.
That’s done it! Thank you very much!
Nice one Esmi – thanks for the tip – I was looking for this too.
