    Hi,
    I am in the process of creating a site in which a lot of demo content was brought in.

    I have built the pages I need and have removed the demo content.

    I am finding on a few of my pages, say ‘services’, references ‘services-2’ as it’s page url.

    I cannot get it to change even though there is no other services page.

    Any idea on this?

    Have you emptied the trash?? Or do you have pages and categories with the same name (WP doesn’t like that)?

    Usually happens when there is a post or page with the same name in the Trash. Delete all your trash items permanently, then try to rename your slug.
