Done ??

Tobias, forgive me for not finding that post! I really appreciate the help, and that did the trick!

Hey, thanks for the quick reply!

Ok, so I understand now that I should keep this table and all its contents, but would it be possible to start from scratch? I’d basically like to delete the plugin and remove the table so that when I reinstall, I have a nice clean one to play with. (The table isn’t removed on uninstall.) Is that possible and/or a good idea? Can I just delete that entire table?

Thanks again for everything!

Wow, Andrew, thanks so much for the quick and thought-out reply! I did not know about this, and I’m immensely grateful to be pointed in this direction – my biggest problem was not knowing even how to explain myself.

I will look into this now. Have a great weekend!

Thanks so much! I guess you’re thinking it’s a problem with that plugin, so I’ll let you know how that goes ??

Michael, thanks so much for your response! But just to be clear, my new custom tax “Locations” should be able to handle a term “Egypt” with a slug “egypt,” even when I have other taxonomies, such as a tag, that also have a slug called “egypt?” Because this seems to be the case with other terms that are in multiple taxonomies, such as “australia,” which exists in both tags and my new “Locations.”

Also, I wanted to check to see if there were terms that are awaiting a more permanent deletion in my trash. However, I do not see a trash bin for terms I delete, do you think I need to go into PHP MyAdmin to delete these terms from the table?

One last thing, you mentioned that WP adds the “-2”, “-3”, etc when there are duplicate terms; the strange thing with my “egypt” term in the example was that it not only added the “-2” but it also added the parent term, so that it looked like this: “egypt-africa-2”. Most other terms looked fine, for example, Germany was “germany” while being under Europe parent term, not “germany-europe” and such.

Sorry for the long explanation, and I really appreciate your help!

Wait, actually, I tried both links again, and they both go to their own page. So I guess it does exist. How can I get rid of the other ones? And where did they come from to begin with? Thanks so much!

Thanks so much for the quick response!

The -2 Page links to Egypt, but just the egypt-africa page sends me to 404. Also, I would like to just have “egypt” as the slug, as opposed to even “egypt-africa”. Most of my other slugs are just one word.
