[Resolved] duplicate pages being indexed

[Jessica]

I have a site with thousands of posts, and Google is indexing pages that look like this:

mysite.com/page/1

mysite.com/page/2

mysite.com/page/3

Each of these are showing a post title in the SERPs like this: Page 3423 – My Site Name … When you click the link, it going to a specific post that should be indexing with the permalink I set (not the page number permalink above), and the post title that I set (not the Page 3423).

About half of my SERPs look like this, and the other half look correct with the right permalink and post title. I don’t know what setting I have wrong. I have already set Google XML Sitemaps to not index categories.

I read somewhere that links to these types of pages could be output by the theme, causing duplicate content, even though I’ve set them to not index in my SEO plugin. Any advice on how to adjust this setting?

Hi there,

The theme itself couldn’t do this.

I wonder if it’s a plugin or custom function you’re using? You may want to deactivate them all one by one to check.
