Featured Category messing with the %category% slug when multiple cat selected

Hello team TagDiv,

I have set my post slug to use category name as the base:
http://xyz.com/category-name/post-name

When I select a post as Featured as well… and made the proper category the primary one, I have noticed that the post works with both slugs:
http://xyz.com/primary-category-name/post-name/ (should be this one only)
http://xyz.com/featured/post-name/

On my homepage, I show featured at the top fold, while everything is listed below that… I have noticed that only the post where I select featured gets listed with ‘featured’ as cat-base (http://xyz.com/featured/post-name/) in the slug below the top fold.
However, in the top fold where I list featured posts only, the same post has the proper slug (http://xyz.com/primary-category-name/post-name)

In SHort, the same post has two slugs now one with primary category and the other with featured category and both works and show the same content… I don’t want to have featured one. Please guide me how to fix this. Thanks!

Hello,

This also happens in a wp default theme. It is a WordPress functionality not a theme functionality. The post will be available with as many url’s as you have categories selected for it.

Thank you!
