Permalinks to Child Pages bring up Tag Archive Page

    This issue is very similar to the one described here, but since that one never got a response, I thought I’d try posting again in the hopes that someone knows a fix. My permalink structure is set up to make pages follow the mysite/page/ format, with subpages being mysite/page/subpage. The mysite/page/ links work fine, but when trying to reach a subpage, the page is rendered as a tag archive (using tag.php). Specifically, the “Destinations” page has a “Toronto” subpage. mysite/destinations pulls up the Destinations page just fine, but mysite/destinations/toronto brings up a tag archive for pages tagged “toronto.” The only entry in the list is the actual subpage I’m trying to get to, but clicking on any of the links to it (which are all for mysite/destinations/toronto) just brings me right back to the tag archive page.

    I’ve checked my .htaccess and httpd.conf files, and mod_rewrite is enabled, along with FollowSymLinks and AllowOverride FileInfo. Anyone have any ideas? This is all happening on my local WAMPserver installation, where I’m building a replacement for a site running on a standard Linux-based live server. On the live server, the same permalink format works fine.

    Thanks in advance!

    Okay, now I find that *some* subpages load properly. mysite/destinations/toronto/ does not, but mysite/destinations/vancouver/ does. I’m thinking it might be a collision between the page name and a post tag, but since the permalink structure for tags is supposed to be mysite/topic/tag, that shouldn’t happen, right?

    Looks like it was tag/pagename collision after all. Deleting the “toronto” tag fixed the issue. I still don’t understand why it seems to be ignoring the correct /topic/tag structure, but hey, it’s working, so that’s good.
