Let me first say, that the QMT plugin is probably one of the most useful plugins I’ve ever installed! I’m so glad I stumbled upon it a month ago…
I guess if there is no way to change the urls that are generated from the checkbox queries, then I have another issue…
On one of my sites I use both the dropdown mode and checkbox mode… a user can search using the dropdowns and then once the results are displayed they can expand/filter using the checkbox mode.
The issue I have is that I end up with duplicate content on different urls like this:
example.com/?product=table&price=100-199
example.com/?qmt[product][]=75&qmt[price][]=95
Both of these urls would actually be the same query and content, just generated using different modes. This of course only happens if the user selects one term from each taxonomy (in checkbox mode), but it’s a possibility.
I guess my only options are:
1. Not use both checkbox and dropdown modes on my site
2. Figure out how to redirect all of the query strings that could create duplicate content to the other query string url
I would like to keep both modes, so if anyone knows anything about redirecting query strings (especially urls that include “[]”) let me know. The brackets seem to be what is causing me the most issues…
Thanks!
