 * In a page with a form it, I used the slug: free
    so the permalink is: `https://
   website/free/` After I submitted the form, I checked the related form entries
   at the backend, and found there is no new entry. But if I type the url below 
   in the address bar of the browser: `https://website/ free/` (there is a space
   before free) Then I can see the new entry after I submitted the form.
 * If I change the slug to other words, it also works.
    But I want to keep the slug
   being “free”.
 * How to solve it.

 * Have you confirmed to be ABSOLUTELY SURE there’s no space in front of the title
   or slug?
 * No, you can’t confirm a space by simply looking at it 🙂

 * I changed the permalink to other words, it works.
    /abc, /gift, /fre, /fregift
   But if it starts with free, then it doesn’t work. e.g. /free-gift, /free_1, /
   freegift.
 * Very strange.
    I need it to be /free.
