 I am using Wordpress 3.4.2 on my website http://latest-health-news.com/.

 I think i found a bug a wordpress.
 It can create same URL for a post and a page.
 I created a post with URL :http://latest-health-news.com/top-10-brain-
 diseases/ , then i created a page using same URL, and it was created
 successfully. I was expecting this it will add a"-2" at the end of page
 URL, but it didn't happen.
 Now when i went back to my home page, which show my last 15 posts, i click
 on the same post, but it opened the page (the content of post and page
 were different, so i can distinguish it). There was no way for the visitor
 of my site to open that post. However the excerpt that was showing on the
 homepage was correct (it was from the post).
 Then i deleted the page to get rid of this problem. But it resulted in
 another one. Now when i clicked on that post on the homepage, it showed as
 error message saying that its a "redirect loop". It was happening because
 i forgot to remove that page from thrash. Now when i removed that page
 from trash, everything was fine.

 I think its a bug in the wordpress that it can create same URL for a post
 and a page. I think that while creating a post it searches the database of
 posts if any other post contain the same URL, it don't search the database
 of pages, while it should do so. Same is in the case of creating a page.
 I don't know if this problem happened to anyone before, but i didn't found
 any satisfactory answer to this problem on internet or i wasn't able to
 find it.
