   Hi all,

   I've a problem which I can't seem to resolve. The situation is as follows.

   • I created a page called 'abc'.
   • I deleted page 'abc' and added 'abc' as a category
   • When I try to visit the page by entering the URL http://www.domain.tld/abc the page gets redirected to http://www.domain.tld/abc/ and fails to load.

   This only occurs to categories which previously had a page with the same slug. Visiting other categories is no problemo. When I retrieve the page through cURL it throws a 301 redirection.

   Why is WordPress rerouting my URLs and how can I correct this?

   Thanks.

   Thanks for your response Esmi, but I'm actually trying to get rid of the 'category' part of the URL. Since other categories work, it seems kind of weird that categories which previously had a page called after them get redirected.
