i tried to create "domain.com/parent/child/8" But it is creating "domain.com/parent/child/8-2"
Why it is adding "-2" itself?
Hi there,
I believe that means this is the second time you've created "8".
The theme itself doesn't control the permalink structure:

I tried with 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and even 10, it automatically added "-2" at the end.
Examples
domain.com/parent/child/8-2
domain.com/parent/child/4-2
domain.com/parent/child/10-2
I found a couple of posts for this:

Maybe check with your hosting support?
Worth checking with WordPress support to see if this is something added by default when using a numeric in URL.
This isn't a theme issue.
