Stupid Wordpress Permalink Bug.

Hello.

I have an annoying problem on WordPress.
I once created a post called "abc", and the permalink was "www.myblog.com/category/abc".
I have deleted this post and opened again a post called "abc".
This time the permalink automatically was "www.myblog.com/category/abc-2".
And so on ... "abc-3" etc...

I've tried to force edit the url but it doesn't let me, although the old url i.e. "www.myblog.com/category/abc" not exist.

Is anyone knows how to fix this bug ?

Thanks in advanced for the help,
Tom

 

You should be able to edit it out of the file where wordpress saves the permalinks to. It saves it in the mysql files from what I can see.

 

Did you completely delete the old post or just set it to pending or is it still in the trash?

 

Those post must be in his trash folder for later recovery. Try after removing those from the trash.

 

If you removed the trash post, then surely you have no other option than editing mysql through phpmyadmin (boring).

If you just removed, post would be in thrash, edit the post add the necessary content, and publish it.

 

Thanks very much, I have deleted the posts from the trash folder.
GREAT !
