Recently I changed the name of some of my categories including slug. From photography (slug photography) to wedding photography (slug wedding-photography).
While the new URL with category wedding-photography works fine I noticed that the old URL with category photography is still working and displays the same content instead of leading to a 404 error page as there is no longer a category name photography including slug?
How is this possible? Can someone tell me how I can make that old URL leading to 404. Don't want same content in 2 posts.

I did this already several times but I'm still getting the same content on the 2 URLs.

This is happening on my site, too. I'm using WP 2.7, and I can confirm it's not a browser cache problem, because I'm seeing this on other browsers as well.
I renamed /category1/ to /category2/
Links like http://mydomain.com/category1/post-name-here.html still work, even though they should give a 404 error.
http://mydomain.com/category2/post-name-here.html also works.
Is this a bug?
