  • With the recently added *article* post type (used to share [recipes on Cooking](https://cooking.codidact.com/categories/29)), the URL to the post is `/articles/nnnnn` (where `nnnnn` is the post ID), or `/ar` instead of `/articles` for shorter links.
  • However, the category feed still uses `/questions/nnnnn` as the URL for each post.
  • The result is that the link shown in one's feed reader returns a "404 Not Found" error page.
  • **The category feeds should take the post type into consideration when generating the URL to the post.**

  • **The category feeds should take the post type into consideration when generating the URL to the post,** so that the link shown in the feed reader successfully takes the user to the post in question. (Assuming of course that it is still available.)

With the recently added *article* post type (used to share [recipes on Cooking](https://cooking.codidact.com/categories/29)), the URL to the post is `/article/nnnnn` (where `nnnnn` is the post ID), or `/ar` instead of `/article` for shorter links.

However, the category feed still uses `/questions/nnnnn` as URL for each post.

The result is that the link shown in one's feed reader returns a "404 Not Found" error page.
