 * Hi, I have got this very strange problem whereby a single page (in this case 
   a custom post type page) permalink just stops working sending me to the 404 page–
   after a while it comes back but then promptly stops working again!
 * I have tried flusing the rewrite rules – if I change the permalink to something
   else then the page works fine again but when I put it back to the original it
   stops working again! All other pages (both custom type and normal) permalinks
   all work fine – its driving me nuts
 * has anyone encountered this before?

 * Does the slug clash with anything else?

 * Thanks for the replies, I seem to have actually sorted it now by going into the
   database and deleting all instances of that page bar the live entry – don’t know
   why that has worked but it has.

 * Ah, you probably had it in your trash somewhere. Next time, try emptying the 
   trash 🙂
