I recently released a plugin Flickrize Image Search. When I was releasing the plugin I took some time to create the license page for this plugin. The license says that you can freely use it for any legal purpose, and may redistribute it or modified version with an expressed written permission.
However When I was creating the license page, I encountered a 404 issue. When the license was was published, the above url was giving a 404 error. I was stumped for a while. Initially I thought that permalinks were not working. However when I looked the contents of my blog directory, I found that there was already a file named “license.txt”. Strangely that file was conflicting somehow with the page I wrote, even though the file was not of the exact same name as the page. Renaming that file solved the issue.
I believe the issue was not a WordPress issue as the 404 page I received was not coming from my theme. It was coming from my host. Any how I thought to share this strange thing and the remedy so that anyone of you may not have to waist time.
