[BUG] Error Creating Slug
Hello, I'm experiencing an issue with a slug that I believe I created in the past. After deleting the associated space, I am now unable to reuse the same slug. Could someone guide me on how to access the database to permanently remove the record of this slug? I need advice on where to go or how to proceed to resolve this issue. Thank you!
Alex DonegaΒ you need to log to your WP Database.
If you have PHPMyAdmin (PMA) with your Database (DB) then follow the below steps.
Note: you can try access link: yourDomain.com/phpmyadmin and see if there is the DB login form but in most cases you can find your DB link in your hosting console.
DB User name, Password and also DB Name can be taken from the wp-config.php file (you have different credentials to DB than to your hosting console)
Once logged in to your DB > find your DB Name and click on it > find your DB table: `wp_fcom_spaces`, and click on it > look for the row where in the Slug column you see your empty or incorrect Slug Name > click Edit > in the Row called Slug provide a new Slug Name in the text field.
Scroll down to find the Go button > once saved you can create a new Space with that Slug.
Note: if you want to delete the Space with incorrect Slug > instead of clicking the Edit button just find Delete option but be carefull (it would be good to have a backup in case you make any mistake). Better option is always to change the unused Slug to some other name and Delete the old Space/Course with that Slug from the fCommunity Settings.
See below Step 1 and Step 2. Once completed your problem should be fixed.
Step 2
Thank you.
