Duplicate description in Blog
11 replies · Started by Dean on March 6, 2023
I have found allot of duplicates after switching to GP theme in my Blog and now even Blogs. This Blogs tag is something new i think and i maybe managed to locate it and i zhink it is elements: Category archive and Category hero. Because this new "Blogs" way not here before but still i am not sure if this is the problem.

Before i had only Blog tag not Blogs, will it help if i delete this elements which were here when i imported the theme ? Or do i need dsome kind of code to remove duplicates ?
Thank you
Hi there,
can you link me to the page on your site that is causing you issues?
https://netmajstor.eu/blogs/page/3/ - this one is new after switching to GP
https://netmajstor.eu/blog/page/7/ - this one is old
so now i dont know which one to disable...
thank you
So this: https://netmajstor.eu/blogs/page/3/ is a category archive for the category term blogs
GP doesn't add terms, it just provides archive templates, and if WP finds a category term with posts in, it will generate those links and in turn the theme will display them.
Perhaps the previous theme or a previous SEO plugin was noindexing the category pages ?
It is possible no index was activated.
Should i delete elements: Category archive and Category hero ?
Are you showing any category archives on your site ?
I can see categorys on my blogs dont know what else should i look for...
https://netmajstor.eu/blog/page/7/ – this one is old
This is the wp blog index page.
https://netmajstor.eu/blogs/page/3/ – this one is new after switching to GP
This is the category (blogs) archive page.
Rank Math should be able to no-index the category archives page.
Thank you
No problem :)
Do you think Categories and Tags should be all Noindex or just categories?
Hi Dean,
The duplicate appears to be coming from having the "Blogs" category along with the default Blog. There's no need to noindex Tags as well I believe.
