ECWID How to fix Duplicate page content and external link issue

[Atlanta-SMO]

I am working on a site that has a HUGE number of duplicate pages due to ECWID ecommerce platform.  The site is built with Joomla!  How can I rectify this situation?  The pages also show up as "external " links on crawls...  Is it the ECWID platform?  I have never worked on a site that uses this.

Here is an example of a page with the issue (there are 6280 issues)

Hey Jeremy,

Were you able to attain any information at the ecwid conference?

Hi Jeremy,

thank you for your response!  Please do inquire with ECWID. I will look at the forum post you sent.  I appreciate any further info you discover.

thanks

So, this appears to be a Joomla issue, not spawned or native to ECWID.  But, perhaps the happy marriage of Joomla and ECWID has birthed you a problem child

I'll actually be at a conference next week (Austin, Texas) with ECWID and can ask them in person.  For the now, have a look at a similar question/answer I found for you on the ECWID forums:

Hope this helps!  Cheers.
