      What is the difference in wordpress with this "-" in the url? Both url's show the page like it's supposed to. Is this normal?

        Hello. If one of the page is not redirected (301), then you either need to ensure the redirection or, if you really need both links, you should use rel=canonical on one of them. If you do not do this, Google will consider the pages as duplicate content. However, do you have two different pages/posts in the WordPress backend for the same link? If so, you should delete the one you don't want. Let me know if that helps.

          For Google are different pages so if you dont have cannonical tags or redirections, can create a duplicated content Issues. No is not normal, maybe you need to check the settings of your website.
