    Problem with URL after deleting and recreating a page in WordPress

    I’m facing an issue with assigning the correct URL to my new subpage in WordPress, and I’m using Elementor Pro. I previously created a page with the URL mywebsite.com/websites, which I deleted completely due to an issue with Elementor (the page is not in the trash). After creating a new subpage with the same name, WordPress assigned it the URL mywebsite.com/websites-2 instead of mywebsite.com/websites. When I try to manually change the URL, it still adds -2 at the end.

    Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

    • Checked the trash – the page has been permanently deleted.
    • Refreshed the permalinks in WordPress settings – this didn’t help.
    • I haven’t set up any manual redirects.

    Despite this, I still can’t use the original URL mywebsite.com/websites for the new page. Has anyone encountered a similar issue and found a solution?

  • What shows when you open mywebsite.com/websites in the browser?

    I suspect an attachment page.
