Unwanted Permalink Redirect

Is this post, tween-sons-bedroom-before-and-after-finally, completely different from this one, pb-knockoff-double-chaise-for-patio, or have you possibly renamed one to the other? WordPress will try to keep track of permalink changes. Most of the time it works pretty well. That is why I ask.

No, I’m pretty sure they are both entirely different posts. Any other ideas?

You actually have two redirects.

00:00:03.820	0.701	582	256	GET	301	Redirect to: /2012/07/pb-knockoff-double-chaise-for-patio-2.html	https://imnotatrophywife.com/2012/07/pb-knockoff-double-chaise-for-patio.html

1. /2012/07/pb-knockoff-double-chaise-for-patio.html (the original request)
2. /2012/07/pb-knockoff-double-chaise-for-patio-2.html (redirect 1)
3. /2012/07/tween-sons-bedroom-before-and-after-finally.html (redirect 2, which 404s)

Check your post Trash first.

Have you edited your .htaccess file?

Do you have any plugins that might be causing a redirection?

Do you have access to PhpMyAdmin? Or some other tool that lets you look at the database? WordPress tracks old post names in the *_postmeta table under the key _wp_old_slug. I am fairly confident that these posts have somehow gotten conflated.
