I had a page.. and I by mistake added another one, so the permalink got appended by "-2" at the end. I had to delete one of the pages, so I happened to delete the one without the -2 attached. Now I'm trying to change the slug of the page so that it becomes "pagetitle/" rather than "pagetitle-2" but everytime I edit the permalink it reverts back to "pagetitle-2" any ideas?

Remove the page from the trash. – t31os Jan 19 '11 at 13:18
Hehe yes I just figured that out... I totally forgot the added trash feature. Thanks! – jeffkee Jan 19 '11 at 13:20

Turns out I had not deleted the page from trash, so the URL has was still taken up! Once trash was emptied it worked.

For some reason it didn't let me do that last time! "You cannot do that on your own answer." or something of the sort... – jeffkee Feb 2 '11 at 1:20
