The unique thing about these pages is that at one time they had been moved to a new slug and a new page was created and given the old slug. I have not been able to recreate this condition by adding a new page, changing the slug, then adding a new page at the original slug. Those older pages had a `_wp_old_slug` custom field set with the original URL but that is not being created as I move pages now. So this may only be an issue for sites with older page moves. I believe this behavior is caused by the removal of is_404() in [34659]. It had previously stopped a redirect away from a post / page that currently exists, even if another post had its URL in a `_wp_old_slug` custom field. This is different from, but may be related to #35012." defect (bug) closed highest omg bbq 4.4.1 Query 4.4 critical fixed has-patch fixed-major
