Same alias for post and page

[syamvilakudy]

Hi,

My permalink format is %postname% .

I have created a post named as "business" and page created with the same name "business".

These two posts are pointed to a single URL

site.com/businees

and this link displaying page content

I think this is a bug in wordpress latest version

Thanks
Syam Mohan

Did you expect the post to "win" over the page or did you expect WordPress to handle the slug conflict?

Introduced in [30158]. See #18962. References from that ticket to this issue are at https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18962#comment:2, https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18962#comment:32.

IMO we could do a smidgen more to protect against these cases. Like, what if wp_unique_post_slug() disallowed page/post slug conflicts if permalink_structure is /%postname%/? That wouldn't account for people who create conflicting slugs under one permastruct and then switch to another, but it would probably cover most cases like this.
