    This isn’t a how to per se. I love Events Manger. It’s absolutely the perfect plugin for what we needed it to do.

    We are now working on SEO for the site and the reports we are running say there are issues with lots of duplicate content (because of the recurring events).

    Does anyone have any experience on how much of a problem this really is? Or are there any suggestions of what to do?

    can you give us more details about this please? also, at the moment recurring events will create single recurrences depending on the recurring event start/end date; also, when you edit a recurring templates it will delete everything (including bookings) and recreate new set of recurrences.

    hi angelo,

    there really is no problem with the functioning on events manager. it works great. can’t say enough good things.

    my question is more of a general question. when i run my seo reports, it flags all the duplicate content created by the recurring events as an issue. i’m wondering how much of an issue that really is and whether there are any suggestions / workarounds for it.

    sorry but haven’t tried MozSEO before and did you integrate this to wordpress or EM?

    Neither. It’s not a plugin. Its a website that you can join that has SEO tools you can run on your website. It does weekly monitoring and tells you how your ranking and keywords are performing.

    But it’s also not just Moz. I was looking at some other SEO services / websites and when I run an initial report on the site, they all flag me for hundreds of pages of duplicate content. I know it’s there, I have many recurrning events and they all have the same content. I just don’t know what to do about it or whether its a problem. I’m wondering if anyone else who uses events manager has run across this.

    I’m not aware of any other users who’ve suffered negatively from multiple listings of similar events.

    Depending on how your site is set up, you could automatically restrict how many events are visible on the site with shortcodes.

    I’ve recently thought about this and provided a possible solution to the SEO-problems with recurring events.

    See this topic for more info on this topoic.
