[Support request] Multiple Home Pages

[Mouse]

Hi there, I am having a bit of issue here …

Google has started indexing all of the pages like

https://home page .com/page/1 ….2….. any number…

I have removed many of them manually.. but I have to fix the main problem… I dont want https://home.com/page/ any page.

Please help.

Hi there,

/page/# are generated by WordPress for any paginated page. This is not something the theme is in control.

Similarly I can see https://homepage.com/; this page is also getting indexed on Google… which makes no sense, how these pages are being made

[Mouse]

But the homepage is just a page generated like any other… I dont see other pages like for example the about us page to be like that /page/2 3 4 …. so why homepage… ?

[David]

The theme has no control over pagination and permalinks that is a core WP function.
And WP should not be generating pagination if you’re not on a paginated archive or page. So some other plugin / custom function is interfering with that. You would need to find which plugin/code is creating the issue.

I have blocked all plugins and theme functions is the same that came with the theme as default… other than css code to make the header sticky I added no other code.

As David mentioned, these things are completely handled by WordPress itself – meaning that you would get the exact same issue when using a twenty series default theme.

I would recommend checking with WordPress support team and see if they’ve seen similar issues before.

Yes I understand. Is there a way to redirect all these pages to only one page for the case of homepage?

I mean /page/2 3 4 ….https://homepage.com/page/9223372036854775807/ (cz this is the limit)

Can we do something like that… ?

[Leo]

Not within the theme.

You would have to setup redirection within WordPress.

Maybe a plugin like this?
