 * Hi I create a website and im using elementor as a page builder. I create my pages
   and everything but for some reason all my permalinks have a -2 after the page
   name.
 * for example if the page name is “example” the permalink should be [https://www.site.com/example](https://www.site.com/example)
   but when I Crete the page the permalink show as [https://www.site.com/example-2](https://www.site.com/example-2)
 * how I can fix this??

 * Hey Harry,
    The most common cause of this is having another element using the
   same name. For example, do you have a media file (image) using the same name?
   If yes, then rename the image file and reset the link url for the page.
