 * Hi,
 * I had my permalinks set to /%category%/%postname%/
 * my problem is whenever I want a page to be only titled as a number (“ex: wordpress/**
   13.html**“) it automatically converts it into wordpress?**13-2.html**“
 * It adds up with a “-2”. There are no other existing pages for this. But I specifically
   want the Page title to be a number, but somehow it adds a dash and a number to
   it. Any advice on how to solve this?
 * Thanks

 * Check your trash can for pages. If a post is still in trash with the same url,
   then all new ones will be created with -2.
 * Empty trash permanently then try again.

 * Hi PSM Digital,
 * I have tried that and recreated various pages with different numbers, and all
   are the same. Is there any other solution for this?
 * Thanks!
