We keep getting a warning from Bing Webmaster: “Large number of pages pointing to the same canonical URL”
I cannot see anything on the server, WordPress, Astra theme or Yoast to cause this so contacted Bing. The pointed to view-source:https://www.zemaitis-uk.com/ and the Yoast section as the cause:
<!– This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.3 – https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/ –>
<title>Help Winning Tenders | Bid & Tender Specialists UK | Zemaitis Assoc.</title>
<meta name=”description” content=”Helping SMEs with winning tenders, bids & high-value contracts. Tender writing, consultancy, bid management and tender training courses.” />
<meta name=”robots” content=”index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1″ />
<link rel=”canonical” href=”https://www.zemaitis-uk.com/” />
But they didn’t offer much more help other than pointing me to their help page: https://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/alert-large-number-of-pages-pointing-to-the-same-canonical-url-d66b104e
I cannot see any template/boilerplate issues with the Astra theme.
Is there a Yoast setting that can cause this?
Or any other known cause?
Many thanks
Tony
]]>I’ve noticed that if I use SEO Framework to validate my site with Bing Webmaster, it doesn’t work. Could it be the fact that the code that SEO Framework spits out omits the forward slash at the end? Google doesn’t seem to care and validates easily but Bing being Microsoft, I would imagine that they’re really anal about how the code appears.
??<meta name="msvalidate.01" content="XYZ">
Whereas Bing gives you
<meta name="msvalidate.01" content="XYZ" />
Where do I add the meta tag to my WordPress website?
Thanks,
Stephanie Long
Any Help?
]]> 1- Perform a reverse DNS lookup using the IP address from the logs to verify that it resolves to a name that end with search.msn.com
2- Do a forward DNS lookup using the name from step 1 to confirm that it resolves back to the same IP address
can anyone help understand how to do that please?
The <img> tag does not have an ALT attribute defined
.
An example of the coding I use is as follows:
<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1166" title="Bungalow-Insurance" alt="Bungalow Insurance" src="https://www.emberjd.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bungalow2-png.jpg"
New to this, so if can help please spell out what I should do.
