    Hi everyone!

    Something really strange on a long-established Enfold site. I noticed that the blog url now has a “-2” on it and there are two almost-identical pages under “pages” for the blog. I went into theme settings and ‘Where do you want to display the blog” was empty, so I selected the title for the page that seems to be linked to the “-2″ page. There is no option on the dropdown menu for the page title of the blog url without the -2”

    So to be more clear: the “new” page is “https://www.thomashenthorne.com/marin-real-estate-blog-2/” and the old page is “https://www.thomashenthorne.com/marin-real-estate-blog” with no “2.” I endabled a 301 redirect from the “2” page to the main page and no luck.

    I am afraid to delete the “2” page for fear I’ll really break something, and am also worried about having duplicate page indexing issues in Google if I leave it as is. Have you seen this before?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    the “marin-real-estate-blog” exists?
    If you have that page deleted – but not emptied the trash (bin) – the permalink is blocked – and a newly added page with the same name will get the permalink with an index.

    Guenni, thanks for jumping in and I hope you are well.

    The “marin real estate blog” page was showing unpublished (no idea why… it has been there forever) and so I published it again, selected it in main theme options, did a 301 rediirect from the mysterious -2 page and everything seems to be working.

    I am curious to know why this happened but glad it’s ok now.

    Hi,

    If the permalink is getting the extra -2 at the end, then something else has that permalink already as @guenni007 pointed out. I’m glad to hear that it’s working as it should now though. Please let us know if you should need any further help on the topic, or if we can close it.

    Best regards,
    Rikard

    Thanks Rikard… Site seems to be back to normal. Any idea what would have caused a duplicate blog page to be created? I know I didn’t do this… at least intentionally hahaha.

    Best,
    Rob

    I just wanted to mention that this has happened to me before. You press trash/bin and think the page has been deleted. But the permalink remains blocked until the trash is emptied.
