[Resolved] Slug Problem For Hierarchical Custom Post Types

Tell us what you are trying to do?
First I uploaded an image on my website which has title 'pagescreen' and it's URL is '/pagescreen.jpg'. I created a custom post type called 'Product' and I kept it Hierarchical in the settings. Now I created a Product Post which has title 'pagescreen'. Now I can't set my new post url to 'mydomain.com/product/pagescreen'. It is automatically becoming 'mydomain.com/product/pagescreen-2'. If I visit to 'mydomain.com/product/pagescreen', the image 'pagescreen.jpg' appears.

If I don't keep the post hierarchical, everything works fine. But I want to keep the post hierarchical.

Hi there,

I replicated the behavior on a clean installation and I am not sure if it is expected or not.

I reported this to second-tier support and will get back to you as soon as I have an answer.

Thank you.

Hi there,

I have an answer from the second tier.

This is not related to Toolset and it is a main WordPress thing. Even if you deactivate Toolset altogether and test that for pages (which is default WordPress but it has that hierarchy option) you will see the same thing.

In general, please keep all the slugs unique and avoid uploading images with the same name of the page or custom post type slugs.

Thanks.
