buddypress group pages redirect to permalinks with similar words

[markbildner]

I have several instances where a Buddypress group URL does not find the group homepage.  Instead it finds a similar page, something along the lines of:

https://site.com/groups/eagles/

redirects to:

https://site.com/eagles-2015-roster/

(some static web page from years ago)

 

I see nothing in .htaccess that would do it.  I tried looking through WordPress configurations, disabled plugins, etc.  For the life of me I can’t figure out where this is happening.  I have no redirect plugins running.

If I rename these pages something like “zzeagles” then the problem goes away.  It’s like the system is looking first for static pages, then looking for similar pages, and when failing that it finally finds the dynamically generated group page.

Any idea what is going on?
