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?
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 ?
