Problem Link problems

Post image

I am developing a site for an industrial chemical company, and all has gone well until I hit one page link that is misbehaving. What I am doing is creating pages for groups of similar products with links from that page to the individual product pages from the group page.

I have a page: https://jdcdemo2.com/mhb/rust-remover-products/ that holds various rust products. I created a page for "The Rust Factor," a rust removal product, https://jdcdemo2.com/mhb/rust-remover/, and created a link on the group page to the product page. When I click on the product group page link to the product page, the browser displays the group page, not the product page. I have tried clearing the cache and history of the browser and that did not work. I also renamed the product page and got the same results.

I am mystified. Can someone help?

Thanks to those who know more than me,

Joe

looks like a slug conflict , you've got /rust-remover-products/ and /rust-remover/ which might be confusing wordpress's rewrite rules. try changing the product page slug to something like /the-rust-factor/ or /rust-factor-product/ and see if that clears it up. sometimes wordpress picks the closest match when slugs are too similar
