Hi there,
When WordPress adds a number like “-2” in the slug, that means you still have the old content by the same name in the draft, trash, etc.
Check and please try again after removing or changing it.
You should also check the database posts table to locate the items with “-2” in the permalink. 🙂
Hi thanks i have Revisions: 30 Browse how would i remove them ?
Thanks removed tehm but still get the 2 on the end.
How can i check the database please
it’s just found Permalink Manager Lite and that works great
Hi there!
Deleting revisions doesn’t have any relation to those permalinks, but it can disturb if you have old content by the same name in the draft, trash, etc.
Since your problem is solved now, you don’t need to do anything. 🙂
Hi Animesh
sorry that Permalink Manager never worked the way i wanted it to.
I have found the URL in the database and changed it but still show old URL and i think i need to save it as a certain type like when you change a password in the database you save it as MD5 but not sure what to save my URL change has ? would you know.
Hi there
Have you done the following process?
Go to wp_posts in phpMyAdmin.
Click the Edit button on the post that has the same URL.
Go to the post_name section and change the name there: https://prnt.sc/t81uwa
Scroll down and click on the Go button: https://prnt.sc/t81vfs
There shouldn’t be any problem after all these steps.
It is working on my side and no additional steps required.
Can you please check again all steps? 🙂
Thank that works but it’s added a -2 on the end now
it’s ok found the other link which was no use and change it the title to -3 all working now thank you bery much
Hi there
Glad to hear that your problem is solved now. 🙂
