   I have following permalink structure: /%post_id%/%postname%.html
   As i know in this case wordpress could identify article id directly from uri.
   But when I create two post with same name wordpress engine adds numbering to the post slug.
   I need:
   /1234/my-article.html
   /5678/my-article.html
   But I get:
   /1234/my-article.html
   /5678/my-article-2.html

   Is it possible to resolve this feature?

   Yes.

   One would be to skip the %post_id% part and just use the more informative and search engine friendly %postname%.html.

   I can see your point, that %post_id% identifies a post in a very secure way, but when you use %postname% in your permalink, WordPress has to qualify the post slug with a number, in case you change your mind and want to use only the slug.

   The following plugin should help:

   Kaf, you have to put a space before a link that starts a line in order to make it be a link....
