  Cannot re-name Project Type Slugs even when there is no conflicting slug title.

  e.g. http://janineshroff.co.uk/project-type/illustration-2/

  It appends a number after the slug ‘illustration’.

  When I try and edit it says there is already an existing slug called “Illustration”

  I’ve checked, double checked, deleted pages and posts and there is absolutely no slug called ‘ illustration’. It won’t allow me to rename.

  I’m having the same problem with all my slug titles for both Categories & Project Types.

  e.g. http://janineshroff.co.uk/project-type/sketches-2/
  e.g. http://janineshroff.co.uk/project-type/design-3/

  Can someone please help?

  Kind regards,
  Janine

  Hi Janine,

  I just checked your Project Types here:

  https://janineshroff.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=jetpack-portfolio-type&post_type=jetpack-portfolio

  It looks like you got those three slugs (“design,” “illustration,” and “sketches”) working there. Is there anything more I can do to help with this?

  Thanks Rachel,

  I had to rename tags to get them working. (Tags now have hypens but its not as annoying) Thank you.
