  Hello,

  I recently created a new post and want to give it the slug of an old post I have since deleted. Unfortunately, when I try to visit the post, it keeps trying to redirect to the old existing page (I already changed the old post’s slug AND deleted it).

  Is there no way for me to use this slug on my new post?
