 * This “-2” in the URL happens to me too, on some sites, usually when WP detects
   a duplicate slug for the page. This can happen if a page, post, or even a media
   file with the same slug (e.g., “singapore”) already exists in your database, 
   including in the Trash.
 * What you could do:
    1.  Check for duplicates:
    2.   - Go to Pages > All Pages and search for “singapore.” If you find a page with
           the same slug, delete it permanently (including from the Trash).
         - Repeat the same process in Posts > All Posts and Media > Library to ensure
           no other content uses the “singapore” slug.
    3.  Check categories and tags:
    4.   - Go to Posts > Categories and Posts > Tags to see if there’s a category or
           tag named “singapore.” If found, either delete it or change its slug.
    5.  Permalink reset:
    6.   - After removing duplicates, go to Settings > Permalinks in the WordPress 
           dashboard.
         - Click “Save Changes” (even without making any changes) to refresh the permalink
           settings (i do it twice, just in case)…
    7.  Update the page URL:
    8.   - Edit your page “//talalagirmango.com/export/singapore-2/” and manually update
           the slug to “singapore” in the Permalink section under the page title.
         - Save the changes.
    9.  Flush caches:
    10.  - If you’re using a caching plugin or server-side caching, clear the cache
           to ensure the changes are reflected properly.
 * I hope this will work for you; it does for me (almost) all the time…

 * Sometimes, remnants of deleted pages or posts remain in the database (this happened
   to me as well a few times, I must admit). Go via your Hosting’s Panel like cPanel,
   and use phpMyAdmin to check your WP database directly: look in the “wp_posts”
   table for any entries with the slug “singapore” and delete them manually if they
   aren’t needed.
 * Also, check for Drafts or Revisions, that you don’t have that slug there.
 * If these don’t help – try and temporarily deactivate all plugins (especially 
   SEO or permalink-related plugins), and switch to a default WordPress theme (like
   Twenty Twenty-Three). Then, check if you can edit the slug. If it works, re-enable
   plugins one by one to find the culprit.
 * Good luck!
