I'm having some problems with my permalinks. WP is adding a "-2" to the end of all of my permalinks - even when there is no other page with the same name. Every time I post a new page, and every time I edit, it puts a "-2" after whatever I type in the permalink window.

I don't have anything in the "Trash," all of my pages are published, and I can't change the permalink back.

If I change to a completely new name, it will work ok... but even if I try and change it back to the name that I need it adds "-2"

Any help?

It is only occurring on one installation:

www.northcoastimports.com

Here's an example of an edited page:
www.northcoastimports.com/cc/8dm/8365-2

UPDATE: Apparently, it only occurs when the permalink is a number. I just created a new test page with the permalink "test" and it worked okay. I also created a new test page with the permalink "9999" and it added a "-2"

What do you have set at dashboard->settings->permalinks?

/%postname%/

do you have any seo plugins that might be messing with this?
temporally swap to the twenty-ten theme and see if the same thing happens.

This seems to be related to a problem that I'm having with Permalinks so I hope it's all right to put it here.


I have several links that have started going to the Dashboard (If I'm logged into WP) or to the WP login page if I'm not.

The links are on this page: http://americanenglishdoctor.com/wordpress/?page_id=14

I'll use the first link for an example.
b,d,h,j,k,l,m,n,p,r,t,v,w,z
Instead of going to the specified link:
http://americanenglishdoctor.com/wordpress/?page_id=124

it automatically inserts /wp-admin/:

http://americanenglishdoctor.com/wor...n/?page_id=124

What can I do to stop that from happening? The links used to work properly.

I'm using Atahualpa 3.4.4.

You need to look at your .htaccess file and see what is in it.

If this just started happening, what change did you make to your site? Did you add a new plugin? That could be cause it.

Try swapping to the default theme, if the issue still occurs, it's not theme related.

Never mind!

I was able to go back into the page and edit the links. How that "wp-admin" ever got into the path beats me.

Thanks
