I have a function that creates a page when I create a post (so as to construct parent-child relationship trees).

I'm using the $title of the post to create the page and this also creates a duplicate slug. Is there a way to alter the slug slightly so as to make it unique? How can I assure that the new slug will not interfere with the original post?

I guess WP automatically appends a number at the end if the slug repeats.

I would like to believe that but it simply isn't the case 100% of the time for my site. – AlxVallejo Apr 11 '12 at 21:32
Since you're creating the page manually via PHP rather than using the built in WordPress methods it's probably sidestepping any duplicate name checks. You'll need to check to see if that slug already exists when trying to make the page, then adjust the slug if it is already there. – hereswhatidid Nov 7 '12 at 15:27
Some code samples would greatly help in diagnosing this as well. – hereswhatidid Nov 7 '12 at 15:28
