I have been encountered a problem that is -

When i am adding a sub category it fine and showing as expected but when i try to update that category again then slug automatically changed to another.

Example:

Category name: Lab slug: lab & Sub category name: Water lab slug: water-lab

When i open sub category water lab and hit update then slug changed to water-lab-1 or sometimes it changed to water-lab-lab

I am running wordpress version - 4.4.2 and I've been running some number of plugins currently.

Slugs are unique. You probably have a tag with slug "water-lab" so wordpress renames your Sub category. Please double check that there is not article, tag etc with the same slug

  • When I create a sub category and put name "test lab" and slug automatically create "test-lab" but when I go to edit mode again and update it slug does update as "test-lab-1" I hope you get it now

  • No, I need to test that with all plugin disabled that's the only option left for me. I never encountered that this kind of problem before
