 <Router>
      <Header />
      <main>
        <Route path="/articles/:title">
          <Article />
        </Route>
        <Route path="/about">
          <About/>
        </Route>
        <Route path="/sign-up">
          <SignUp/>
        </Route>
        <Route path='/articles'>
          <Articles/>
        </Route>
        <Route path="/categories">
          <Categories/>
        </Route>
        <Route path="/profile">
          <Profile/>
        </Route>
      </main>
      <Footer />
    </Router>

This is how I have my router set up but for some reason my Articles component gets rendered below my Article component when I navigate to an article page

Your path ‘/articles’ fits both: ‘/articles’ and ‘/articles/:title’. Place the keyword exact before path:

<Route exact path='/articles'>

But for some reason my links in the “Articles” are not clickable, they do change if I manually type in the url address like http://localhost:3000/articles/objects then article does show but I cant click on it.
Also I want to stay that I cant do npm start it throws this error “error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported” and only after I type a command like $env:NODE_OPTIONS = “–openssl-legacy-provider” it starts the browser but still I cant click any links.Need some help :face_with_spiral_eyes:
