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 `` 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](https://github.com/Viper007Bond/allow-numeric-stubs). ## Installation 1. Go to your admin area and select Plugins Add New from the menu. 2. Search for “Allow Numeric Slugs”. 3. Click install. 4. Click activate. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e6bd3697558329bd21484a6aafdb107c823e0a9e35830f40bb48f5250a13034a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works instantly without any configuration needed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-instantly-without-any-configuration-needed/)󠁿 [matthewdhenderson](https://profiles.wordpress.org/matthewdhenderson/) July 25, 2023 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. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/762d762ea973ba2514f96aba70f037f6e93bba9c7796a73d888eaac46abd35d8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Bada55!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bada55/)󠁿 [ps3hero](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ps3hero/) April 27, 2022 Works perfect, THX a lot for this. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8b520612e3ee6f5d10039997a5828d55d19d711e56614dc7d556e1da2ad52ed6? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works with 5.2.2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-with-5-2-2/)󠁿 [Evan Norton](https://profiles.wordpress.org/evannorton/) July 31, 2019 SSIA ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0be22191bb0589bf3ed185945a69303d5859336fd8af638fa636d03af1bfedb8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works with WordPress 4.9.6](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-with-wordpress-4-9-6/)󠁿 [xammm](https://profiles.wordpress.org/xammm/) June 18, 2018 FYI: Works with Wordpress 4.9.6 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9ebd7b1ab40483e927d43d38555140a157f0df583dccb1512e61923195ab87dc? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Beautiful plugin.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beautiful-plugin-47/)󠁿 [nabillionaire](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nabillionaire/) June 12, 2017 Works just as advertised.

It’s what was adding the `-2` suffix in the first place. #### Version 2.2.0 * Update for WordPress 4.4’s rewrite rules. * PHP 7 compatibility by renaming class constructor. Also drops unneeded references. #### Version 2.1.0 * Update for WordPress 3.3’s rewrite rules. #### Version 2.0.1 * Re-add the `save_post` filter after fixing the slug incase multiple posts are updated in one pageload. #### Version 2.0.0 * Recoded for WordPress 3.0+. WordPress now won’t let you manually enter a numeric slug — it will prefix “-2” onto the end of it so that the page is viewable. This new plugin version works around it. #### Version 1.0.0 * Initial release. ## Meta * Version **3.0.0** * Last updated **10 years ago** * Active installations **900+** * WordPress version ** 3.3 or higher ** * Tested up to **4.4.34** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/allow-numeric-stubs/) * Tags * [number](https://zul.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/number/)[numeric](https://zul.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/numeric/) [page](https://zul.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/page/)[pages](https://zul.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/pages/) * [Advanced View](https://zul.wordpress.org/plugins/allow-numeric-stubs/advanced/) ## Ratings 5 out of 5 stars. * [ 8 5-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/allow-numeric-stubs/reviews/?filter=5) * [ 0 4-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/allow-numeric-stubs/reviews/?filter=4) * [ 0 3-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/allow-numeric-stubs/reviews/?filter=3) * [ 0 2-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/allow-numeric-stubs/reviews/?filter=2) * [ 0 1-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/allow-numeric-stubs/reviews/?filter=1) [Your review](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/allow-numeric-stubs/reviews/#new-post) [See all reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/allow-numeric-stubs/reviews/) ## Contributors * [ Automattic ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/automattic/) * [ Alex Mills ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/viper007bond/) ## Support Got something to say?
