 * Hi
 * I am tidying up a site before launch. Once of the pages has -2 at the end of 
   the permalink, however there is no other link on the site with the same name.
   When I try to amend it, it continues to revert to -2. Can someone please advise
   me on this – note I am not very comfortable working with databases, so want to
   avoid doing that? Thanks.

 * You seem to have a post with the slug “innovation”, so an attempt to re-use that
   slug will add a “-2”. [http://e4e.30f.myftpupload.com/innovation/](http://e4e.30f.myftpupload.com/innovation/)
