[Support request] Duplicate index issue

[John]

Hello

One of my article index two times on Google.

One is my destination URL.

But Another one is, Added ?preview=true with end of post URL.

I don’t use gutenburg or any page builder. Simply using classic editor.

I provided exact term with site: in website URL box.

What should I do now?

Hi there,

?preview URLs are for logged in users only. I can’t find anything about excluding it from search engines, so I wasn’t it’s something that will likely go away. Is it only the one page?

[John]

Yes only for one page.

I’ve decided to remove the post for avoiding duplicate issue.

Do you have any better suggestion?

[Tom]

I think it’s likely a non-issue unless there’s a link on your website somewhere that links to it with the ?preview part of the URL. If there isn’t a link to it, search engines shouldn’t be able to find it.
