404 when article_url matches a section name in "Title only". Bug?
You can reproduce this on the test demo (currently showing until next demo refresh on the hour):
Section = testing
Section is set to \Title url scheme
Article “testing” is assigned to the testing section.
Article “one-two-three” is assigned to the testing section.
Results:
\testing\testing --> is found
\testing\2\testing --> is found
\testing\ --> shows landing page
\testing --> 404 (but this is what I want)
\one-two-three --> is foundI can work around it, of course, by changing either the section or article title. Is this a known anomaly?

Does the result change in your favour if you alter the Preference for trailing slashes?

Thanks! Didn’t think of that.
But unfortunately that doesn’t help. While setting to “no” allows you to reach the URL, you get the landing page, not the article. Here’s an overview:
With trailing slashes set to no:
/testing/testing --> page is found
/testing/testing/ --> 404 - not found
/testing --> shows landing page
/testing/ --> 404 - not foundWith trailing slashes set to yes:
/testing/testing --> 404 - not found
/testing/testing/ --> is found
/testing --> 404 - not found
/testing/ --> shows landing pageWith trailing slashes set to list:
/testing/testing --> page is found
/testing/testing/ --> page is found
/testing --> 404 - not found (this should be the individual article, I think)
/one-two-three --> page is found (individual article)
/testing/ --> shows landing pageTXP Builders – finely-crafted code, design and txp

That’s not exactly a bug, rather a processing simplification. If an article and a section have identical names, txp prepends its id to the article URL, even in title_only mode. Otherwise, in yes/no slash modes, there would be no mean to disambiguate. Tweaking it for list mode has some cost, namely because many url schemes can be used in parallel.
