Why You're Seeing -2 or -link in Your Permalinks
Are you seeing a Lasso link like example.com/product-2 or example.com/product-link?
This suggests that example.com/product already exists as a Lasso link. However, no two Lasso links can have the same slug of /product.
💡 Note: If you're using WordPress, a Lasso link also cannot have the same permalink as any other post, page, category, tag, image, etc.
This applies even if you're using a subfolder. For example, you cannot use example.com/product and example.com/link/product because there is a risk of linking conflicts.
How Lasso Protects Your Links
The good news is Lasso resolves this for you automatically to make sure your links always redirect properly. 🤓
Instead of blocking the link, Lasso will add -2 or -link to the end of your new link to make sure it has a custom permalink.
Customizing Your Permalink
Don't want -2 or -link added to your link? No worries! You can customize the Permalink value in Lasso to be anything you'd like.
