  Hello- I have a category that I need to adjust the slug name on “examples, it’s currently “events-2”. There is no original “events”, it was a page instead of a category so it was deleted to make way for the category.

  How can I change this slug?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The -2 is appended to the end of your category because you also have a tag ‘events’:

  https://yepny.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=post_tag

  You’ll need to turn that tag into a category, which you can do here:

  https://yepny.wordpress.com/wp-admin/admin.php?import=wp-cat2tag&step=3

  Then the slug should update to “events” without the -2
