 get_permalink has an odd behavior when on post type archives.

 It fetches a radom article from the taxonomy archive, instead of returning
 the link from the archive itself.

 Maybe it was supposed to. But if I do this:

 <a class="button" href="<?php echo wp_login_url( get_permalink() ); ?>">

 When the link is on a category archive, it will redirect the user to a
 radom article from that particular category, because the get_permalink is
 returning that particular random post.
