I have a page called "Orlando" and for some reason the page url is /orlando-2/. I have never made another "Orlando" page on this site and there are no pages living in the trash. There is also no other page with the word "Orlando" in it. I know this happens when you have multiple pages of the same name but can't find any fix if there are no dups.

Thanks

Duplicates don't just come from Pages and Posts, WordPress also defines Images and Files from the Media Library as "Posts". This means if you have a file / image in the Media Library with the same name as a page, it will assign the next duplicate a -2 ( from the wp_unique_post_slug() function ) so there's no URL conflicts.

TL;DR - Duplicate? Search for Pages, Posts, and Images.
