    Hi

    I just switched from Divi to GP and Google search console is showing a massive spike in URLs (from about 600 which I have, to 4,000+)

    I’ve already found that the category tags under post title are linking to a default category page rather than the custom pages I’d set up before; are there any other likely causes of this?

    Thanks

    Hi Matt,

    For reference, can you provide links to a couple of “duplicate” or unintentionally created URLs?

    Hi,

    yes I’ve dug into this by searching my domain on Google for all URLs added in the last 2 days and I’m sharing some examples here…

    Hi there,

    so this ?query-4-page=3 is the query param for the current page of the viewed “archive”
    on your first URL you have 9 paginated query loops. In order to keep track of each loop the core query loop block writes 9 query params, resulting in a lot of dynamic URLs.

    Is it necessary to paginate each loop considering there is a separate archive for each category ?

    Got it – I can have a button to the category page instead to avoid that.
