 * WordPress auto-generates those numbers on the end when slugs exist that conflict
   with what you’ve entered. If you’re sure you don’t have other posts or pages 
   with that slug, check the trash. WordPress stores copies of deleted content in
   the trash, and those slugs will still be allocated until the trash is emptied.

 * Hi,
 * Since this is a question specific to Ninja Forms, it’s best to ask the question
   directly in that support forum. That will get your question right in front of
   the folks that created the plugin. [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ninja-forms](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ninja-forms)

 * Hi,
 * Welcome to WordPress. 🙂
 * There are a number of ways you handle something like this. One of the easiest
   ways to do it would be with a plugin [Paid Membership Subscriptions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/paid-member-subscriptions/).
   It allows you to restrict content based on the subscription level.
 * There are a number of other content restriction options listed in the wordpress.
   org plugin directory here: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=content+restriction](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=content+restriction)
 * Good luck with your project!

 * Hi,
 * Your best bet for free plugins is to search the wordpress.org plugin directory
   here. Example search: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=classified](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=classified)
 * As far as themes go, it depends entirely on what you want it to look like. There’s
   a nice list of free themes here: [https://wordpress.org/themes/](https://wordpress.org/themes/)

 * Hi [@jewelsmac6](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jewelsmac6/),
 * A link to your site would be helpful. Also, you can try temporarily deactivating
   all plugins except Mailbag and switching to the default Twenty Sixteen theme,
   and then test to see if it works. If it does, start turning things back on one
   by one until it breaks again to determine which item is causing the issue.

 * Hi Rod,
 * This is likely controlled by your theme. To test that, you can temporarily activate
   the default Twenty Sixteen theme, do a failed search, and see what the message
   shows.
 * If so, you can ask the theme developer how to customize the text in a child theme.

 * Hi,
 * When pagination screens end up showing duplicate content like this, it’s usually
   a plugin or theme that’s causing a conflict with the pagination queries.
 * To test this out, try temporarily deactivating all plugins and switching to the
   default Twenty Sixteen theme. At this point, everything should be working great.
 * Then start turning things back on one by one until it breaks again. That will
   tell you the source of the problem.

 * Hi, I did a quick scan of the code and it appears there’s an option to disable
   the plugin’s CSS. Try that.

 * It’s hard to say for sure without seeing it, but maybe try editing the content
   in the Text mode so you can see the tags easier. [Screenshot](http://cl.ly/1j1j0X1l0A0w).

 * Hi,
 * A few thoughts.
 * 1) What are your URL settings under Settings > Reading?
 * 2) Does it happen if you deactivate all plugins and switch to the default Twenty
   Sixteen theme?
 * 3) If it still happens after #2, ask your host if they have redirect rules in
   place at the Apache config file level that you can’t control.

 * I see. Unfortunately the wordpress.org forum policies don’t allow the support
   of commercial products here. The VC developer should be able to help you though!

 * How you do it, with `pre_get_posts` or with a whole new custom query depends 
   on what exactly you want to do.
 * I can’t say anything to your grid builder. What grid builder are you using? You
   should contact their support if you want to use custom post types in their plugin.
