    I have an event calendar that has multiple repeating items into the future. They are classes that typically all have the same titles but will occasionally have different information. I don't know what is the best way to deal with them and am open to suggestions.

    Currently Moz anayltics is showing multiple errors (duplicate page titles, descriptions and overly dynamic urls). I'm assuming that it's showing duplicate elements way into the future.

    I thought of having the calendar no followed at all but the content for the classes seems valuable.

    Thanks,

        A great completely and this is a good example of the type of difference changing the robots.txt file could make

        I would read all the information you can on it as it seems to be constantly updating.

        I used this info below as an example of a happy ending but to see the problems I would read all the stories you will see if you check out this link.

        http://wordpress.org/support/topic/max-cpu-usage/page/2

        CPU usage from over 90% to less than 15%. Memory usage dropped by almost half, from 1.95 GB to 1.1 GB including cache/buffers.

        My setup is as follows:

        Linode 2GB VPS
        Nginx 1.41
        Percona SQL Server using XtraDB
        PHP-FPM 5.4 with APC caching db requests and opcode via W3 Total Cache
        Wordpress 3.52
        All in One Event Calendar 1.11

        All the Best,

        Thomas

          I got the robots.txt file I hope this will help you.

          This is built into every GetFlywheel.com website they are a managed WordPress only hosting company

          website the reason they did this was the same reason Dan as described above.

          I'm not saying this is a perfect fix however after speaking with the founder of GetFlywheel I know they place this in the robots.txt file for every website that they host in order to try get rid of the crawling issue.

          This is an exact copy of any default robots.txt file from getflywheel.com

          Default Flywheel robots file

          User-agent: *
          Disallow: /wp-admin/
          Disallow: /wp-includes/

          Disallow: /calendar/action:posterboard/
          Disallow: /calendar/action:agenda/
          Disallow: /calendar/action:oneday/
          Disallow: /calendar/action:month/
          Disallow: /calendar/action:week/
          Disallow: /calendar/action:map/

          As found on a brand-new website. If you Google "Max CPU All in one calendar" you will see more about this issue.

          I hope this is of help to you,

          Thomas

          PS

          here is what

          The maker of the all in one event calendar has listed on their site as a fix

            Hi Landon

            I had a client with a similar situation. Here's what I feel is the best goal;

            Calendar pages (weeks/months/days etc) - don't crawl, don't index

            Specific event pages - crawl and index

            Most likely the calendar URLs have not been indexed, but you can check with some site: searches. Assuming the have not been indexed, the best solution was to block crawling to certain URLs with robots.txt - calendars can go off into infinity, and you don't want to send the crawlers off into a black hole as it's not good for crawl budget, or for directing them to your actual content.

              is this the all-in-one event calendar for WordPress?

              If so I can give you the information or you can just Google CPU Max WordPress

              essentially you have to change the robots.txt file so the crawlers don't have huge issues as they do now with it.

              Get flywheel has that built into their robots.txt file if that is your issue I can go in and grab it for you.

              Sincerely,

              Thomas

                Besides this, take a look at the schema markup for Events it might help you mark up the page better so Google will understand what the page/ event is about: http://schema.org/Event

                  Are the same classes in the future link to the same page? are you using canonical tags correctly? Your URL should help diagnose the problem and guide you better,

                    Is 301 redirect the only way when using Vanity URLs?

                    We have been using vanity urls for some of our pages. Mostly the pages that have a vanity URL have a long URL length. But now the problem is, the vanity URL is getting displayed on the search engine when the particular keyword related to the page is entered. I checked the google search console, the vanity URL is indexed and the original URL remains unindexed. What should I do? Is adding 301 redirect to the vanity URLs are solution? Since some of vanity URLs are not redirecting to the original. Some of the original pages are not getting traffic. Also, can using canonical tag help?

                    What's the best way for users to upload their images to my wordpress site to promote UGC

                    I have looked at lots of different plugins and wanted a recommendation for an easy way for patients of ours to upload pictures of them out partying and having fun and looking beautiful so future users can see the final results instead of sometimes gory or difficult to understand before and after images. I'd like to give them the opportunity to write captions (like facebook or insta posts and would offer them incentives to do so. I don't want it to be too complicated for them or have too many steps or barriers but I do want it to look nice and slick and modern. Also do you think this would have a positive impact on SEO? I was also thinking of a Q&A app where dentists could get Q&A emails and respond - i've been doing AMA sessions and they've been really successful and I would like to bring it into out site and make it native. Thanks in advance 🙂

                    Best Practice for www and non www

                    How is the best way to handle all the different variations of a website in terms of www | non www | http | https? In Google Search Console, I have all 4 versions and I have selected a preference. In Open Site Explorer I can see that the www and non www versions are treated differently with one group of links pointing to each version of the same page. This gives a different PA score. eg. http://mydomain.com DA 25 PA 35 http://www.mydomain.com DA 19 PA 21 Each version of the home page having it's only set of links and scores. Should I try and "consolidate" all the scores into one page? Should I set up redirects to my preferred version of the website? Thanks in advance

                    Way to spider Wordpress site

                    I have an old Wordpress site and I want to move it to a new server and take it off Wordpress (too many hacks).  I am trying to spider the site so as to get static, non-Wordpress, pages. I am having trouble doing this.  When I spider the site, it changes the URLs.  For instance, if the URL is www.domain.com/page/  the URL I get out of the spider is /page/index.html  And those are not the URLs in the search engine indices.  There are about 2000 pages on this site, so it is not feasible to set up 301 redirects. I tried using these spidering programs: WinHTTack Website Copier and PageNest Does anyone know of another method of turning a Wordpress site into a non Wordpress site?

                    What is the best URL designed for a product page?

                    Should a product page URL include the category name and subcategory name in it? Most ecommerce platforms it seems are designed to do have the category and sub-category names included in the URL followed by the product name. If that is the case and the same product is listed in more then 1 category and sub-category then will that product have 2 unique urls and as a result be treated as 2 different product pages by google?   And then since it is the same product in two places on the site won't google treat those 2 pages as having duplicate content? SO is it best to not have the category and sub-category names in the URL of a product page? And lastly, is there a preferred character limit for a URL to be less than in size? Thanks!

                    Cloaking? Best Practices Crawling Content Behind Login Box

                    Hi- I'm helping out a client, who publishes sale information (fashion sales etc.) In order for the client to view the sale details (date, percentage off etc.) they need to register for the site. If I allow google bot to crawl the content, (identify the user agent) but serve up a registration light box  to anyone who isn't google would this be considered cloaking? Does anyone know what the best practice for this is?  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Nopadon

                    What is the best way to find stranded pages?

                    I have a client that has a site that has had a number of people in charge of it. All of these people have very different opinions about what should be on the site itself. When I look at their website on the server I see pages that do not have any obvious navigation to them. What is the best way to find out the internal linking structure of a site and see if these pages truly are stranded?
