[Resolved] Change Slug

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
I wanted to add a taxonomy to the existing custom post type "Offers". When I selected the taxonomy in question and wanted to save the post type the following error message came up:
"You cannot use this slug because it has already been used or contains a reserved word. Please select another slug."
So I changed the previous slug "sport-offer" slug to "sport-offers", but now the offers do not appear. How can I restore the previous slug "sport-offer".
Solution:
By chance, have you already tried to check if there is any page/post/content template/view that is using the 'sport-offer' slug?

WordPress do not allow duplicate slugs, and therefore, they should be unique. If you haven't checked it yet, can you please try to find where you might be using the slug "sport-offer", and then rename that slug?

After this, it will allow you to create the taxonomy with the desired slug.

Guten Tag,
Beim bestehenden Custom Post Type «Angebote» wollte ich eine Taxonomie ergänzen. Als ich die betreffende Taxonomie gewählt hatte und den Beitragstyp speichern wollte kam folgende Fehlermeldung:
«Sie können diesen Slug nicht benutzen, da er bereits verwendet wurde oder ein reserviertes Wort enthält. Bitte wählen Sie einen anderen Slug.»
Somit habe ich den bisherigen Slug «sport-angebot» Slug auf «sport-angebote» geändert, nun erscheinen aber die Angebote nicht mehr. Wie kann ich den bisherigen Slug «sport-angebot» wieder herstellen.
Vielen Dank für Ihre Hilfe.

Beste Grüsse, Ivo

Hello Ivo,

Thanks for your contact, and welcome to the Toolset support forum!

By chance, have you already tried to check if there is any page/post/content template/view that is using the 'sport-offer' slug?

WordPress do not allow duplicate slugs, and therefore, they should be unique. If you haven't checked it yet, can you please try to find where you might be using the slug "sport-offer", and then rename that slug?

After this, it will allow you to create the taxonomy with the desired slug. Please give it a try and let us know how it goes. Thank you!

Regards,
Mateus.
