Major content mismatch (Critical Issue)

    Hi there,

    I’m seeing critical issues in Google Search Console for my website, https://www.solidprofessor.com, and I’m unsure how to resolve them.

    AMP URL – Last detected
    /amp/page/27/ – 3/3/18
    /amp/page/18/ – 3/1/18
    /amp/page/21/ – 3/1/18
    /blog/amp/page/16/ – 2/28/18
    /amp/page/23/ – 2/28/18
    /blog/amp/page/17/ – 2/25/18

    When I click on any of these issues in GSC, the expanded information reveals that the canonical has the url parameter “?var” added on the end of them.

    eg:
    AMP URL: https://www.solidprofessor.com/amp/page/27/
    Canonical URL: https://www.solidprofessor.com/amp/page/27/?var

    I leverage that parameter on a set of unrelated Pages on my site. AMP is only enabled for Posts on my site, not Pages. Any advice you can offer would be appreciated, thanks for your help!

    Cheers,
    John

    Hi @rahnold

    Thank you so much for using the plugin!

    It’s quite clear why it’s showing error and we have the solution as well.

    The Non-AMP version’s homepage has custom frontpage, while the AMP has blog posts setup, which is causing mismatch error.

    I would recommend you to use a custom frontpage on homepage and blog on the /blog/ page

    That should take care of the errors.

    Regarding the extra parameter, I don’t think it should be showing up at all.

    Can you share a screenshot regarding to it?

    Hi Ahmed,
    I have the same problem, if I turn on AMP for Tags and/or Categorys.
    The first archive-site ist OK, but 2-x show just new posts, not posts of the samte tag / category as in the non-amp version – so Google finds “Major content mismatch” of course.

    If I turn on the custom-frontpage in AMP, my frontpage shows no posts – so I assume, that my custom-frontpage for non-amp-version is not working for amp.
    What can I do?

    Best regards
    Heike
