 Hi @akshat2802

 This issue occurs because both posts and pages can share the same slug
 (permalink). However, WordPress uses a priority system to determine which
 content to display when accessing a URL with a common slug.

 By default, WordPress prioritizes pages over posts. So, when you create a
 page with the same title (and therefore the same permalink) as a post, the
 page's content will be shown because it takes precedence over the post.
