 * Hi Guys,
    This page’s permalink has -2 at the end, I have tried changing it multiple
   times but each time I save the -2 gets added again… not a duplicate page either
 * Any advice?
 * Thank You
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpermalink-issue-95%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Usually when WordPress appends the “-2” to a slug, that means you still have 
   the old content by the same name, probably in the trash, draft, etc. If so, try
   emptying it. Also see [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-keeps-adding-2-to-new-pages/?view=all](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-keeps-adding-2-to-new-pages/?view=all)
