[Resolved] Duplicate description in Blog

[Dean]

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?

[Dean]

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

[David]

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 ?

[Dean]

It is possible no index was activated.

Should i delete elements: Category archive and Category hero ?

[David]

Are you showing any category archives on your site ?

[Dean]

I can see categorys on my blogs dont know what else should i look for…

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

[Ying]

No problem 🙂

[Dean]

Do you think Categories and Tags should be all Noindex or just categories?

[Fernando]

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.
