 * Hi I am trying to create a customized permalink for my website. I click on appreance
   >permalinks. All the way bottom I put in the customized area like home-page.I
   clicked on save. But any page I am creating the permali9nk is coming as like 
   homep-page-2, contact-us-2 or 3 etc. Is there any way I can fix it. I do not 
   want the numbers. I checked, there are no double pages or two pages in the same
   name. Can anyone help me. Thanks in advance for your help.

 * A) Review what custom permalinks should look like, and what will and won’t work:
   [https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Choosing_your_permalink_structure](https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Choosing_your_permalink_structure)
   
   B) if that’s all good, then make sure you don’t have any previous version of 
   any deleted/old page permalinks still hanging around by emptying the contents
   of the WordPress trash bin. That should allow you to get rid of “-2, -3, etc..”
   in the slugs.
