Two pages named the same thing, on a different level but conflicting url paths in menus and direct links

Question

I've just changed some titles of pages and child pages around, simply I've got Work as top level page, and Blog as a top level, with Play and Work as children.

The paths are:

/work/

and

/blog/work/

However, if I create a menu directing the user to /blog/work/, either using a page tag in wordpress or a direct link it takes the user to /work/.

Why is this, and how can I fix it?

http://msc-media.co.uk/ - Check out blog/work link, at the moment it's a custom format to point to http://msc-media.co.uk/blog/work/.

Answer 1

Afaik, you can't "fix" this, as this is the internal behavior of WP.

You maybe could use some other slug like blog-work. Then go and redirect to your desired URI.
