Post display problem

    I have an issue with one post out of 100+. We are upgrading to 2.5 and are running a test server at: https://www.whatyououghttoknow.com/test

    Every post displays fine except one: https://www.whatyououghttoknow.com/test/2007/11/29/mail-my-fedex-via-ups/

    It looks as if the style sheet isn’t correctly linked but it it. Cutting and pasting the source into a text file and then dropping it in a browser window shows that the whole page is rendering correctly.

    Every link brings up a 406 error when clicked. But when you copy that link and paste it in the address bar of a new window it works fine.

    I know it can’t be the template because all of the other posts work wonderfully using the same one. I have scoured the code looking for invisible characters and have even gone as far as re-typing all the post data into the database by hand through phpmyadmin.

    I just created a new post with all the same data (but different dates) typed by hand and it is doing the same thing. Here is the data I’m using.

    title:
    Mail My FedEx via UPS

    post:

    <h2>Carrier Comparisons</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.redroller.com/shippingcenter/home">redroller.com</a><br />
<a href="https://www.iship.com">iship.com</a><br />
<a href="https://pakmail.com">pakmail.com</a><br />
<a href="https://www.shippingsidekick.com">shippingsidekick.com</a><br />
<a href="https://www.thefreightrateco.com">thefreightrateco.com</a></p>

    optional excerpt:
    Tis the season to be shipping. Who doesn't love to get a big brown box of something in the mail?

    Help. Thanks.

    Okay I know I just posted the problem but I think I’ve figured out where it is going wrong. I started playing with the permalink slug and guid. the word mail cannot be at the beginning. When I took that out or moved it down it works.

    “mail-my-fedex-via-ups” doesn’t work. While “just-mail-my-fedex-via-ups” does.

    I still don’t know what causes this or why it doesn’t work. I know mail is a php function but shouldn’t this be in text variable? Never called as a function?

    Maybe It’s a wordpress bug maybe it’s me. But if one of your posts goes renegade and has issues displaying, look at the slug.

    the more I read, the harder it is to believe that 2.5 is a gold release.
