ShortLink showing "_trashed" & "available" not checking

I can’t explain your issue, but it does appear that WordPress 4.5 now renames a page slug when you trash it with _trashed. I am assuming this is so that you can re-use a trashed page slug – which I do like.

Does that give you any clue?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Not sure it really helps. I made a brand new page, used ShortnIt to make its shortlink T1604 and it still went to _Trashed.

set short link to t1604, Updated,
https://nc3.mobi/t1604
and this appears
https://nc3.mobi/twitter-april-2016__trashed/

So the “t1604” is not being re-pointed. If I had to guess I’d say there is a problem w/ShortnIt’s database. A utility that shows all the short links and their equivalents would be helpful, but I don’t see one. I purged the cache to make sure that wasn’t the problem either.

In short, no pun intended, “t1604” is damaged.

thx

did something else

Used ShortnIt to set its short link to t1605, updated

works

So the problem appears to be with “t1604”
(I think so, but WTF do I know about this???)
