Hello,
There is a major SEO issue with the Generate Press plugin concerning duplicate content.
All the pages in the “category” and “page” sections are marked as duplicate content.
I create a video demonstrating the issue:
When I update my sitemap, I have the same issue. And this is reported on all my website (different domains) using Generate Press.
Can you please fix this issue?
Here’s an example:

Kind Regards,

Hi there,
Not exactly sure which part is being flagged.
But perhaps it’s the #more tags.
Can you try Leo’s suggestion here –
https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/post-read-more-buttons-create-links-to-post-with/#post-1751404Let us know how it goes.
Hello,
I added the following snippet code to the site and still did NOT remove the #more tags.
See a live demo: https://somup.com/c3nnVVZEC4
I wrote about this issue 7 months ago. I see that many people have issues about the #more tags.
Can you please make an Generate Press UPDATE, to fix this issue?
We do not want to install a 3rd party plugin (that doesn’t even work), to add one line of code.
Can you please fix the #more issue? Furthermore, please fix the duplicate page issue for the Generate Press plugin.
I still get duplicate content issues when running a test on: https://www.siteliner.com
SEO is crucial to any business and we should not get duplicate content because of the Generate Press plugin.

Hi Patrick,
I would be surprised if search engines were penalizing websites for duplicate content because their blog archives have an excerpt of the content from the single post. This would be a WordPress thing more than a theme thing.
I did a search for “WordPress archives duplicate content” and found quite a lot of information. This post was interesting: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-content-between-categories/#post-11375451
I see you’re using Yoast on your site. They set the canonical URL for you automatically along with next and previous links: https://yoast.com/features/canonical-url-tags/
You can see they mention pagination in there. Since they set the canonical URL for each page, it shouldn’t be viewed as duplicate.
Of course, you should also be able to use Yoast to
noindexyour archives if you want to avoid the issue completely.Hope this helps!
Hi Tom,
Thanks for the info and for providing these resources.
I will use Yoast plugin to
noindexmy archives.Nonetheless, can you please make an update of the Generate Press Theme to get rid of the ugly #more tags?
Myself and many others, like to have clean URL’s on our websites.
Isn’t it an easy process for you to do that? I think a few lines of code should solve this issue.
Regards,
Patrick
Some people like the
#morelinks, but you can easily disable it like this: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_more_jump/Thanks!
