Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are facing with the unexpected link on your existing page. It sounds like this could be related to how WordPress handles post slugs, especially if there is already a post with the same slug. When you create a new post or page with a slug that already exists, WordPress automatically appends a number (like -2) to make it unique.
Since you mentioned that you previously had issues when duplicating pages and using Schema, it’s possible that there might be remnants of those actions affecting your current setup. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix the issue:
-
Check for Duplicate Slugs: Go to your WordPress dashboard and check if there are any other posts or pages with the same slug as the one you are trying to use. If there is, consider changing the slug of the new post/page to something unique.
-
Edit the Permalink: You can manually edit the permalink of your existing page. Go to the page editor, and under the title, you should see the permalink. Click on "Edit" and change it back to your desired slug without the -2.
-
Review Redirections: If you have any redirection rules set up in Rank Math, ensure they are not causing this issue. You can check this under Rank Math > Redirections in your WordPress admin dashboard.
-
Clear Cache: If you are using any caching plugins, clear your cache to ensure that you are seeing the most recent version of your site.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so we can assist you further. A human agent from our support team will take over and provide more specific help.
