  I added dloweplaybook.com/about as a blog post by accident, deleted it then tried to add it as a page. I cannot stop it from naming it dloweplaybook.com/about-2
  Please help, this is so frustrating.

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

  Hey David,

  Page slugs are unique, and as you already have a page called About in your Trash, your current page is defaulting to About-2.

  To change this, please click the following link:
  https://dloweplaybook.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=trash&post_type=page

  This is your Page “garbage can.” Hover over the About post in your Trash, and click Delete Permanently.

  Then, go to:

  https://dloweplaybook.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page

  Click on the About page to edit the slug.

  Here’s an image to display where the slug editor is:

  Once you adjust the slug, save the update to your page.

  That should do the trick! If I can help in any other way, please drop me a line. Cheers :)
