Duplicate page issue without canonical
-
Hi Sybre,
Thanks for the great plugin.
There is an issue where Google is reporting duplicate pages in the search console, when a static page is selected for the homepage and there is no separate blog page selected in the “Reading” settings.
While “domain.com/page2/” does not exist, adding “?order” to the URL will show some type of archive: “domain.com/page2/?order=……”.
The “feature” is described here: https://wordpress.com/support/posts/show-your-posts-in-chronological-order/
The main problem is that these pages don’t have a canonical tag. This means Google treats “domain.com/page2/?order=1”, “domain.com/page2/?order=2”, “domain.com/page2/?order=2x”, etc. as different pages. Google also reports every single version of these pages as “duplicate pages without canonical tag”.
Do you have any idea how to fix this? Are you able to add a canonical tag to these pages with your plugin?
