Getting duplicate page when I didn’t create one in the first place

  • Okay. I wanted to create a page called diagnosis, but when I did the slug was diagnosis-2, but I didn’t create the page yet… but I had an image called diagnosis.png that came up with /diagnosis/ in its permalink. This is driving me crazy. How do I create my page without the “-2”? Any suggestions?

    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.

    I did. Still didn’t work.

    Could be cache.

    Try Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches. Not just your browser, but any op cache or content network cache as well such as Cloudflare.
