    I see you have related videos enabled with pagination on the single video pages. So, all the URLs you have shared belong to the relevant related videos pages.

    But, all the pages share the same canonical URL (https://duhovnyj.ru/aiovg_videos/angelskiy-mir). So, this doesn’t affect your site SEO.

    If you don’t want the “/page/” parameter in the URLs, you should disable pagination on the related videos. To do this, go to “Video Gallery => Settings => Display (tab) => Single Video Page (submenu)”, scroll down to the “Related Videos” section, find the “Show / Hide” option, uncheck “Pagination”, save the changes and check now.

    Hope this solved your issue!

    I unchecked the box. Let’s see how this affects SEO and duplicates. Thank you! But I didn’t understand – what does this checkbox give? What is pagination for?

    I didn’t understand – what does this checkbox give? What is pagination for?

    On the single video page, you can see a section called “You may also like”. We call these “Related Videos”. The related videos in our plugin are nothing but videos in the same category/tag. I see you have configured 9 related videos to display per page. But, the actual number of related videos can be more than this. So, our plugin would add pagination to browse more related videos. You can see this when the “Pagination” option is enabled. So, when you click one of the page numbers from the pagination, you can see the same video page is reloaded with the “/page/” parameter (Example: https://duhovnyj.ru/aiovg_videos/angelskiy-mir/page/2) and a new set of related videos show. This is what you have reported as duplicate URLs. But, Google doesn’t consider them as duplicates. Because all the URLs share the same canonical URL. If still, you are worried about this, you can disable the pagination by unchecking the “Pagination” checkbox as explained in my previous reply.

    Hope I have explained it well.
