Duplicate page wordpress title
-
Hi Moz Fan,
I have a few question that confuse by now, According to my website used wordpress for create a blog.
but now i have got duplicate page title from wordpress blog and very weird because these duplicate
page title look like these termLamborghini ASK Hanuman Club < title that was duplicate but they duplicate with the page like this
articles/13-วิธีง่ายๆ-เป็น-คนรวย-ได้/lamborghini-2/ , /articles/13-วิธีง่ายๆ-เป็น-คนรวย-ได้/lamborghini/ I don't know why Worpress create a new page that only have 1 pics, So I think that might be the effect
from Wordpress PHP Code Or wrong setting. Can anyone suggestion what should we do for these issues ?
because i have many duplicate page title from this case. -
There are two things to do to fix this:
-
When you upload a photo to a post, don't link it to the "attachment page' - this is a unique page just for the image, and is not needed. Here are your four options ---> http://screencast.com/t/KlUXTbes
-
'None' - makes the image not clickable
-
Media file - links to the image file itself, which is good if you want users to see the image bigger
-
Custom URL - you can link the image to anything you want, like an external link
-
Attachment Page - is the one you want to avoid
-
If you use the Yoast SEO plugin
-
Go to Advanced -> Permalinks
-
Check off "redirect attachment URLs to parent page' - this will redirect any images on their own URLs back to the page or post.

Haven't you just uploaded two variants of the same image/post twice?, and seeing as the default URL was taken Wordpress has just assigned the -2/ to the second upload ?
Maybe just redirect the second one in your htaccess file or just ensuring you have your rel="canonical" setup correctly will ensure googles doesn't penalize you.
Also just an extra note you could can add a sortcode which make any duplicate titles Unique like this... %%page%% or %%term_title%% more available here https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-seo-by-yoast-page-variable-inserting-extra-sep
Hope this helps a little,
James

This may be the solution when you're also using the Yoast SEO plugin:

I am not sure that I understand, but I will try to guess a bit here:
1. You are publishing a post that contains the image of a Lamborghini but with no text content.
2. When you hit publish, it creates 2 posts with 2 almost identical URLS.
Are you having issues with WordPress making 2 posts at the same time?
-
@Rene Hansen : Thanks for answer, But my points why wordpress create a page that only for picture and not include
the content because when you see on the landing page you will only see the picture. Anyway when you delete the picture
name you will see the picture that already have in that content and if that possible because we publish 2 blog post in once
time how can we fix it. -
As far as I can see, you have made a new post with the same URL. That is why WordPress writes -2 at the end.
Is this happening automatically? Otherwise you could manually remove it.

SEO: How to change page content + shift its original content to other page at the same time?
Hello, I want to replace the content of one page of our website (already indexeed) and shift its original content to another page. How can I do this without problems like penalizations etc? Current situation: Page A

URL: example.com/formula-1
Content: ContentPageA Desired situation: Page A
URL: example.com/formula-1
Content: NEW CONTENT! Page B
URL: example.com/formula-1-news
Content: ContentPageA (The content that was in Page A!) Content of the two pages will be about the same argument (& same keyword) but non-duplicate. The new content in page A is more optimized for search engines. How long will it take for the page to rank better?0 -
Optimal Page Titles to avoid cannibalization
Hi there Moz community I spent today researching optimal "page titles" to avoid cannibalization of keyword. Why? Because when i set up my site previously for another industry I obviously well and truly stuffed it up with page titles that were different, but still too similar ie field marketing project setup, field marketing saas, field marketing reporting. I never ranked once for that term. Consequently, we nearly went broke in the process. Hence my research, which led me to Rands video and other information about choosing the best page title. However, I came across two opposing name theories. So, before i make a colossal error again, could someone please clearly clarify which would be the best way for me to proceed. First option(according to Rand's video about the snowboard website) Main page title - Field reporting and mobile data collection (same keywords as site title?) Subsequent pages - titles - (p1) Field reporting for construction (2) field reporting for medical (p3) field reporting for retail (or is that cannibalizing "field reporting"?) Second option Main landing page - Field reporting Solutions for your business, for your industry Subsequent page titles - (p1) defect inspection & reporting for construction (p2) incident reporting for medical But my quandary is that I wanted to rank for mobile data collection and field reporting for these industries. So how do I write the page titles without firstly keyword stuffing, secondly avoid cannibalization and lastly, not too long? Any explanation that specifically says yes or no would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance and happy friday. Sharon

Google is indexing wrong page for search terms not on that page
I’m having a problem … the wrong page is indexing with Google, for search phrases “not on that page”. Explained … On a website I developed, I have four products. For example sake, we’ll say these four products are: Sneakers (search phrase: sneakers) Boots (search phrase: boots) Sandals (search phrase: sandals) High heels (search phrase: high heels) Error: What is going “wrong” is … When the search phrase “high heels” is indexed by Google, my “Sneakers” page is being indexed instead (and ranking very well, like #2). The page that SHOULD be indexing, is the “High heels” page (not the sneakers page – this is the wrong search phrase, and it’s not even on that product page – not in URL, not in H1 tags, not in title, not in page text – nowhere, except for in the top navigation link). Clue #1 … this same error is ALSO happening for my other search phrases, in exactly the same manner. i.e. … the search phrase “sandals” is ALSO resulting in my “Sneakers” page being indexed, by Google. Clue #2 … this error is NOT happening with Bing (the proper pages are correctly indexing with the proper search phrases, in Bing). Note 1: MOZ has given all my product pages an “A” ranking, for optimization. Note 2: This is a WordPress website. Note 3: I had recently migrated (3 months ago) most of this new website’s page content (but not the “Sneakers” page – this page is new) from an old, existing website (not mine), which had been indexing OK for these search phrases. Note 4: 301 redirects were used, for all of the OLD website pages, to the new website. I have tried everything I can think of to fix this, over a period of more than 30 days. Nothing has worked. I think the “clues” (it indexes properly in Bing) are useful, but I need help. Thoughts?

Can too many "noindex" pages compared to "index" pages be a problem?
Hello, I have a question for you: our website virtualsheetmusic.com includes thousands of product pages, and due to Panda penalties in the past, we have no-indexed most of the product pages hoping in a sort of recovery (not yet seen though!). So, currently we have about 4,000 "index" page compared to about 80,000 "noindex" pages. Now, we plan to add additional 100,000 new product pages from a new publisher to offer our customers more music choice, and these new pages will still be marked as "noindex, follow". At the end of the integration process, we will end up having something like 180,000 "noindex, follow" pages compared to about 4,000 "index, follow" pages. Here is my question: can this huge discrepancy between 180,000 "noindex" pages and 4,000 "index" pages be a problem? Can this kind of scenario have or cause any negative effect on our current natural SEs profile? or is this something that doesn't actually matter? Any thoughts on this issue are very welcome. Thank you! Fabrizio

High number of items per page or low number with more category pages?
In SEO terms, what would be the best method: High number of items per page or low number with more pages? For example, this category listing here: http://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/90/fsx-civil-aircraft/ It has 10 items per page. Would there be any benefit of changing a listing like that to 20 items in order to decrease the number of pages in the category? Also, what other ways could you increase the SEO of category listings like that?

Removing Duplicate Page Content
Since joining SEOMOZ four weeks ago I've been busy tweaking our site, a magento eCommerce store, and have successfully removed a significant portion of the errors. Now I need to remove/hide duplicate pages from the search engines and I'm wondering what is the best way to attack this? Can I solve this in one central location, or do I need to do something in the Google & Bing webmaster tools? Here is a list of duplicate content http://www.unitedbmwonline.com/?dir=asc&mode=grid&order=name http://www.unitedbmwonline.com/?dir=asc&mode=list&order=name

How to resolve Duplicate Page Content issue for root domain & index.html?
SEOMoz returns a Duplicate Page Content error for a website's index page, with both domain.com and domain.com/index.html isted seperately. We had a rewrite in the htacess file, but for some reason this has not had an impact and we have since removed it. What's the best way (in an HTML website) to ensure all index.html links are automatically redirected to the root domain and these aren't seen as two separate pages?
