    Hi There,

    Recently, I have created a website on WordPress with two categories i.e. example.com/written-test and example/oral-test.

    Now, when I am trying to create a post using both posts then it is not working properly.

    Example….

    I want Two Posts

    First, example.com/written-test/America
    Second, example.com/oral-test/America

    But When I Am trying to publish second post then it is something like example.com/oral-test/America-2 instead of example.com/oral-test/America. I checked all posts under the category “oral-test” but no one is identical so How can I resolve this problem, I want URL example.com/oral-test/America not example.com/oral-test/America-2

    PLEASE HELP ME!

    Regards & Thanks

    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.

    Slugs must be unique, regardless of category or parent.

    Hey Steve and Harmony,

    I have created 2 different categories “written-test” and “oral-test” and then published a post under the category “written-test” where the URL is example.com/written-test/america and now when i am trying to create an another webpage for america under different category then I am getting “-2”. I do not have any image in media section, no nothing, I have checked all the sections.

    Am i getting “-2” because I already created the webpage “America” under different category which is “written-test”??

    Category is irrelevant. Parent page is irrelevant. Only the post/pages actual slug is relevant and that must be unique. <borg>Resistance is futile.</borg>

    You’ll need to come up with a better page title/slug for each.
