• I think I’ve found a bug in permalinks.
    Version: 2.8.2
    htaccess:
    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    permalinks setting in settings:
    /%postname%/

    And finally, description of the problem:
    I have the following site structure:
    site.com – my main wp install folder
    site.com
    —folder
    ——new_folder
    ———folder1
    ———folder2

    So I had a page named folder2 in wordpress, and it created a permalink for it. Then I rename the post to be a child of a another page, and of course the permalink was changed in page editing mode to mirror that. For example, PageParent/Page_child

    But when I try to open site.com/new_folder/folder2, it gives me 404. When I name my Page_child page to be named again folder2, and access the site.com/new_folder/folder2 path, it opens instead site.com/PageParent/Page_child?

    That is really weird… really 🙂

    Turned out, after changing the permalinks a couple of times, they got reset… problem fixed.
