Custom Page Missing

Hi All,

I need somebody to help me out figure this out.

I created a stand alone page, uploaded it and it worked fine. The page name was like this:

any-page.php

and it was accessible by visiting:

any-page/

Now what happens is that I tried creating a post with the same name “any page” and then also created a page called “any page” from admin. Now, whenever I go visit that page at https://www.myurl.com/any-page/ I don’t see it. So I tried deleting the post and the page that I created in admin and instead a 404 page shows up and also I can see a PHP error within the HTML that points to a query that was working fine before.

I think that what happens is that somehow wordpress reserved that spot for a page and now that I go there since I delete it wordpress thinks is a 404 but the page is really there.

Any ideas on how to solve this will be really appreciated.

Thanx!
