 * Hi Everyone, really starting to have a lot of fun working with WordPress.
 * Just finishing my first truly decent commercial WordPress site and encountered
   a problem with the data WordPress is putting into one of it db tables.
 * I’ve noticed slugs for pages having -2 added to the end. There were no copies
   in the trash; only an identically named slug for the page’s nav_menu_item in 
   the WP_Posts table.
 * Normally, these nav_menu_items are named with a post_name field equal to their
   ID field. This only changes to a verbose form upon changing the content of the
   Navigation Label and Title attributes within the Menus Dash.
 * The only way to keep my client’s URLs from having -2 appended is to delete navigation
   items from the nav, re-name the page slug, then add the navigation item back 
   in and re-configure the Navigation Label and Title for the item, which means 
   I now have two rows in WP_Posts with the same post_name for each nav_menu_item
   I chose to alter from default.
 * I hope I haven’t misdiagnosed this, but I haven’t found this explanation for 
   the *-2 slug problem before, and my methods do correct it. Thanks & good day!
