Overview
Normally it is not possible to have a page slug (the page’s name in the URL) that is a number. For example this will not work: yoursite.com/about/2/. That URL conflicts with paged content feature where you can posts and pages with multiple pages of content by adding <!--nextpage--> within your content.
This plugin allows you to have pages with numbers as slugs by giving up the ability to have paged content pages which isn’t a big deal as most people don’t use paged content pages anyway.
Code contributions and bug reports are welcome via this plugin’s GitHub repository.

Works instantly without any configuration needed
by matthewdhenderson·2 years ago
You can’t have a post with a numeric slug like “2020.” WordPress will automatically add a “-2” to the end of it. This plugin solves the problem instantly.
This developer passed on in 2019. I’m praying for his soul and the comfort of his family.

Version 3.0.0
- Ditch all of the old fragile hackery of this plugin in favor of just hooking into the WordPress function that ensures that slugs are unique. It’s what was adding the
-2suffix in the first place.
