• Hello,

    I’m running a website on which permalinks are set as “post name” I had an article with the permalink like : “Potatoe”

    I then published another article with permalink “Apple”

    After publishing, I changed the permalink of the first article from “Potatoe” to “Coconut” and the second article from “Apple” to “Potatoe”.

    Now, when I click on the second article which now has the “Potatoe” permalink (which was the permalink first used by the fist article) , it’s loading the first article who used the “Potatoe” permalink first and now has “Coconut” permalink.

    So basically, when I click anywhere (on the homepage or from category) on the second article’s link, which is now :

    https://www.sitename.com/potatoe

    It’s redirecting automatically to https://www.sitename.com/coconut and loading the first article…

    I tried updating the permalink structure in WordPress settings with no luck…

    Note that if I update the second article’s permalink from “Potatoe” to “Potatoe1” or anything different than “Potatoe”, it’s now loading the correct article…

    What’s wrong ?

    I tried deactivating every add on, changed my theme… no fix.

    Is this a bug from the new version of WordPress ?

    Thank you !

    Tried reinstalling Worpress 4.4 with a complete fresh install, no addons, no widgets, new empty database, only a wordpress theme : tried renaming the permalinks just like I did above : same issue is happening.

    Probably a bug on this 4.4 version…

    Sorry I can’t be of any help, but it may help to know that I’ve had the same problem too. ??
