I’m having an issue with one of my sites where a folder that has the same name and slug as one of the top level pages will change its slug seemingly by random. It has happened twice over the course of a week and I would really like to figure out what might be causing this before launching the website.
As an example if I have a top level page named “services” and a folder with a slug “services” it will work as expected with a URL for the top level like “/services” and a bottom level page having a URL like “/services/page1”. When the slug’s name changes on its own it will instead read “/services-2/page” which causes unnecessary 404 page visits when refreshing an old session on a bottom level page.
Thanks for the reply, I thought this was a normal way of structuring URLs for static pages but if it’s a big SEO problem I guess I don’t have to worry about fixing this issue and just change the folder slug. I don’t think I will need the 301 redirects though since the website is not live yet.
About SEO - what i am saying - on webflow no way to create this tree structure:
pagelist (“all posts”) https://moz.com/blog
And specific post: https://moz.com/blog/links-to-target-with-disavow
Because you get error “this value already exists”.

But you are referring to CMS items, I’m just talking about static pages, where the URL structure can be set in place but seems to add a number to the tail randomly.
This is the project. If you excuse the Finnish and look for the folder “IT-osaajille” its slug has changed on its own to add the “2” at the end of the slug. I’ve saved it like this to demonstrate exactly how it was before I last fixed it today, but the problem is I don’t know whats causing it in the first place so it’s really hard to reproduce the issue unless you can find something in the folder’s or top level page’s settings.
Thanks @Siton_Systems. For me, I solved it by deleting a redirect that had appeared under my hosting tab. Not exactly sure how it got there but It’s all set now, cheers!
