 * If you rename your categories slug into ‘blog’ (without quotes) for permalinks
   and also have a page called ‘blog’ (without quotes) you get a 404 when you click
   on next posts at the bottom of the ‘blog’ (without quotes) page. To solve this
   you have to rename the categories slug in the permalink structure.
 * This is a bug in WordPress for a long time. Or is it a feature? 😀

 * Haha, ‘It’s not a bug, it’s a feature’ was a widely used excuse at my last job..
 * I’ve also experience similar issues with various content types having the same
   URL slug and not working, but then again I wouldn’t expect it to since you just
   can’t have two pages with the same URL, it doesn’t make sense. I reckon this 
   only happens in rare cases but it sure gets frustrating if you don’t know the
   issue exists and you spend hours trying to debug a 404!
