conflict between views and pathauto

Question

if i create a path alias to a node, say 'press' and i have a view page display on path 'press/archives', why does 'press/archive' leads my users to 'press'?

Answer 1

A way around this is to make a custom view with page URL "press" that only retrieves the one node and shows the full node content, so that the URL token is handled by Views and not by the menu system.
