#2123 closed defect (bug) (worksforme)

Groups can't have the same slugs as pages/posts

Reported by: rbl's profile rbl Owned by:
Milestone: 1.5 Priority: critical
Severity: Version: 1.5
Component: Core Keywords: 2nd-opinion close
Cc: ryanpc

Description

Problem: when groups are named the same way a page or a post, that page or post becomes inaccessible.

Example:
Try to visit the Example Blog Post in the news blog ( http://testbp.org/news/ ) and you'll be redirected to the homepage, because I've created a group with the same slug.

WP's slug safeguard makes perfect sense in the 1 content type world of a WP website but, IMHO, BP groups and any other content types exclusive to BP should circumvent this mechanism and allow for these duplicated slugs.

Happy debugging =)

I can't reproduce this on BP rev 3130/WP 3.0. I've created a group, a post, and a page, all with the same title, and they're all still accessible. I even played with my permalinks to make sure that the post slug would be in the same query position as the group name - but still, I'm able to access both. Has something been fixed in BP, or is WP 3.0 being smart?

  • Keywords 2nd-opinion close added; slug group post page removed
  • Version set to 1.3

I can't reproduce this either.

To test, I:

  • am using WP 3.0.3 and BP 1.3 rev 3523.
  • changed permalinks to /%postname%/.
  • created a group called "Hello World" and "Hello world!", since WP creates a default page with title "Hello world!" and slug "hello-world".

Both groups created fine.

Can't duplicate error.
