Duplicate Content – Front Page and Posts Page?

  • Hey there…

    I am having this problem on a few of my websites, as an example https://discountpooltables.co.uk/ where the posts page is loated at /pool-table-deals/

    What I have done is used WordPress to create static pages, and under Settings – Reading…have made my front page static and changed the posts page to a different page.

    This works fine, however the problem is both pages now have identical Titles, Metas, Descriptions…to the point Webmaster Tools is making an issue out of it, and this is potentially affecting my rankings…

    Is there anything that can be done to change the title of the posts page?

    I am currently use the All in one SEO plugin, but the problem remains if it is not used…i.e the Blog Title is used both for the static front page and the posts page.

    I would REALLY appreciate any kind help…as I have searched for a while now all over the net and am only posting to the experts on here as a last resort…

    Thanks in advance…

    This sounds like you have a theme design issue to me.

    Here’s what I use for my page titles (in my theme’s header.php file):

    <title><?php
wp_title('|', true, 'right');
bloginfo('name');
if ( is_home() ) {
echo ' | ';
bloginfo('description');
} ?></title>

    This outputs “Blog-name | Blog-description” on my main blog page, and “Post-name | Blog-name” on all my posts and pages.
