name.com/blog/wordpress-plugins

know i want to make a new category with the permalink below:

name.com/wordpress-plugins

But i cant use wordpress-plugins for the permalink of new category. WordPress automatically add -2 to the new category and make the permalink like:

name.com/wordpress-plugins-2

Answer 1

This might be because you have created wordpress-plugins twice. Please check your database if it already exists.
