    Hi there,

    Please go to Settings > Permalinks, then press the save changes button. It will clean the permalink cache, and might fix your problem.

    In case it doesn’t fix your issue, so it may be a plugin/theme conflict, and I might need help you in a different way.

    Hi Felipe,

    Thank you so much for your suggestion. A few days ago I tried that along with changing the permalink settings and then changing them back. No luck so far.

    However, when I change the permalink all together it works — but I obviously don’t want to do that. It just reinforces that it *is* a permalink issue, if that helps?

    Do you have any other suggestions?

    The only similarity I can find is the name of the blog post slug and the name of the PDF slug.

    Have you tried changing slug slightly?

    Hi @t-p,

    That’s the only similarly I’ve been able to find, too.

    If I change the blog post slug, it works and I can access the page! However, a lot of my traffic comes from Pinterest (along with a handful of other sites linking back to me) so I don’t want to update the slug and lose my referral traffic.

    Can you think of any other way to fix this?

    Thank you so much!

    Please try checking if you have a redirection on a plugin like Yoast SEO.

    Make an option could be change the slug, and then put a permanent redirection to the new path.

    Okay, then consider changing the slug and put redirection.
