 * For some reason my permalink has been defaulting to a random name of a previous
   post with random numbers following it.
 * It started out of the blue and I can’t seem to fix it.
 * Also my SEO by Youst has been acting up as well. I’m sure they’re connected somehow.

 * Have you tried just refreshing the permalinks? Settings -> Permalinks, set them
   to default, save, then set them to what you want and save again.

 * Yeah. I’ve tried that.
 * I still see the previous posts name in the slug in my post page.

 * What do you mean when you say Yoast is “acting up”? Does deactivating the plugin
   and then refreshing your permalinks solve the issue?
