 On multiple sites, we have started using article URLs with the post ID in
 them. Historically, this has allowed WordPress to find the post and do a
 301 redirect when the slug, date, or other parts of the URL path changed.

 For example, Permalink -
 %year%/%vertical%/%category%/%postname%-%post_id%/

 All of these URLs should redirect us to this article:
 http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/the-loud-house-premiere-date-video-
 nickelodeon-1201740128/

 http://variety.com/2015/tv-news/news/the-loud-house-premiere-date-video-
 nickelodeon-1201740128/
 http://variety.com/2015/tv-news/news/test-url-slug-1201740128/
 http://variety.com/the-loud-house-premiere-date-video-
 nickelodeon-1201740128/
 http://variety.com/2016/the-loud-house-premiere-date-video-
 nickelodeon-1201740128/

 While the first 2 examples work correctly, the last 2 URLs land on 404
 page inspite of correct %pagename%-%post_id% combination.

 If we have Permalink - %year%/%vertical%/%category%/%postname%/

 The last 2 structure work correctly and reach correct article page. For
 example - http://hollywoodlife.com/2016/03/28/lip-sync-battle-the-walking-
 dead-sasha-vs-maggie-video/

 http://hollywoodlife.com/lip-sync-battle-the-walking-dead-sasha-vs-maggie-
 video/
 http://hollywoodlife.com/2013/lip-sync-battle-the-walking-dead-sasha-vs-
 maggie-video/

 Since we have a correct %postname%-%post_id% combination in the first
 Permalink structure URL, we should be able to reach the correct article
 page in the last 2 examples there too.
