Hi guys,

This problem is driving me crazy.

When I started creating my website, I made some pages like http://techplanet.nl/software/. They were auto-generated by the theme I guess. Cause I didn’t actually create the page.

After some time I decided that I wanted to have more control over the pages and started creating new, custom ones using the Visual Composer. Like this one: http://techplanet.nl/software-2/

But I don’t like the “-2” in the URL/permalink. So I tried changing it. Impossible!
The weird thing is that I cannot find or delete/trash (or empty trash) the initial version (http://techplanet.nl/software/). So WordPress will not allow me to rename the “-2” version.

How do I stop the theme from generating this one: http://techplanet.nl/software/??

Thanks, hope I made my problem clear.

Andre

P.s.: In my case “Software” is a category. So I don’t want WP/Theme to auto-build a category page. In this case Software. How/where do I disable this?

Aargh, crazy making me it is (as master Yoda would say 🙂 )

I found it. My Forum (BBPress) was creating the problem.
