Hey! It sounds like you’ve had quite the challenge with URL conflicts—don’t worry, this can happen easily. Here’s a simple approach that might help:
- Check for Redirects in WordPress or Hosting: Since WordPress itself created this redirect, you may be able to address it through your hosting provider’s control panel or settings. They may have a place where redirects are automatically managed.
- Reassign the Category URL: You could try changing the category URL to something different (like “food-travel-guide-cat” or any unique term) and see if that frees up your original page URL.
- Reclaim the Original Page URL: Once the category URL is updated, go back to your page editor and attempt to set your preferred URL (
/food-travel-guides/) for your page.
If these steps feel tricky, your web host’s support team should be able to assist you in adjusting or removing the unwanted redirect!
Hope this helps! 😊
