Comment page duplicate content

  • Google console shows I have
    /comment-page-1/
    /comment-page-2

    and so on for most of my posts, that all display the same content (duplicate content penalty).

    So I unchecked the “break comments into pages” box, so all comments will show only on the post page. No more page 2, 3, etc.

    I can’t get Google to remove the /comment-page-1/ and so on from its index, because rather than those pages that no longer exist throwing a 404 error, they now somehow just redirect to the post page. So they still think that same content is available through multiple url’s, which I guess it is.

    Any thoughts? Thank you.

    The former comment pages return a 301 permanent change status, redirecting to the parent page. The current parent page shows its canonical URL being the same parent URL. This is a quite common situation, properly handled. The comment pages in search results should eventually fall off the results in favor of the parent page. It takes time. My advice is to not worry about it, it’ll eventually get sorted.
