    Hello the team,

    Please I need help… I have been trying for a few hours to create an “artists” category for my places CPT. But the correct slug does not want to register, it creates a bad “artists-1” slug. I know this is a duplicate slug because there is already a slug with that name. So I checked but I have no tag or category already having this slug name…

    So I went to phpMyAdmin to check and I noticed with amazement that the table “wp_terms” contains more than 500 lines including a line with the slug which is problematic … Can you tell me if these lot of data is normal or a bug ? See the screenshot for examples lines.

    There are a few lines that are my categories, but the majority I don’t know why there are these records!

    Thank you.

    Problem solved… It’s a Yoast plugin feature (yst_prominent_words), that eating up my wp_term table… Now I can create a GD category.

    Sorry for this post.
