Post permalink changes when Saving Draft

    I’m having a problem where whenever I click Save Draft on a post I’m working on, the permalink is changed back to that of the page title. For example…

    1. I click on the post to bring up the WordPress editor and it will show the permalink as “the-oranges-are-green”.
    2. I change the permalink to “oranges-green” and click Save Draft
    3. When the draft saves and the page reloaded the permalink is back to being “the-oranges-are-green”

    I’ve tried the “Stop words in slugs” setting in Yoast both on and off and it doesn’t make a difference.

    I’m probably missing something obvious but can’t put my finger on it. Please advise?

    Sometimes strange behavior may be caused by a plugin or theme conflict. The fastest way to rule out conflicts is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Seventeen. If this resolves the issue, you have a conflict and should activate one plugin at a time until you locate the conflict. Finally, after all plugins are active, switch to your theme. This will narrow down the conflict to a specific plugin or theme.

    If you are unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we wrote a small guide that will walk you through the steps. You can find it here: How To Check For Plugin Conflicts
