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.

How to optimize count of interlinking by increasing Interlinking count of chosen landing pages and decreasing for less important pages within the site?
We have taken out our interlinking counts (Only Internal Links and not Outbound Links) through Google WebMaster tool and discovered that the count of interlinking of our most significant pages are less as compared to of less significant pages. Our objective is to reverse the existing behavior by increasing Interlinking count of important pages and reduce the count for less important pages so that maximum link juice could be transferred to right pages thereby increasing SEO traffic.

Need help with huge spike in duplicate content and page title errors.
Hi Mozzers, I come asking for help. I've had a client who's reported a staggering increase in errors of over 18,000! The errors include duplicate content and page titles. I think I've found the culprit and it's the News & Events calender on the following page: http://www.newmanshs.wa.edu.au/news-events/events/07-2013 Essentially each day of the week is an individual link, and events stretching over a few days get reported as duplicate content. Do you have any ideas how to fix this issue? Any help is much appreciated. Cheers

Rel canonical on every page, pointing to home page
I've just started working with a client and have been surprised to find that every page of their site (using Concrete5 CMS) has a rel=canonical pointing to their home page. I'm feeling really dumb, because this seems like a fatal flaw which would keep Google from ranking any page other than the home page... but when I look at Google Analytics, Content > Site Content > Landing Pages, using Secondary Dimension = Source, it seems that Google is delivering users to numerous pages on their site. Can anyone help me out?! Thanks very much!!

Getting individual website pages to rank for their targeted terms instead of just the home page
Hi Everyone, There is a pattern which I have noticed when trying to get individual pages to rank for the allocated targeted terms when I execute an SEO campaign and would been keen on anyones thoughts on how they have effectively addressed this. Let me try and explain this by going through an example: Let's say I am a business coach and already have a website where it includes several of my different coaching services. Now for this SEO campaign, I'm looking to improve exposure for the clients "business coaching" services. I have a quick look at analytics and rankings and notice that the website already ranks fairly well for that term but from the home page and not the service page. I go through the usual process of optimising the site (on-page - content, meta data, internal linking) as well as a linkbuilding campaign throughout the next couple of month's, however this results in either just the home page improving or the business page does improve, but the homepage's existing ranking has suffered, therefore not benefiting the site overall. My question: If a term already ranks or receives a decent amount of traffic from the home page and not from the page that its supposed to, why do you think its the case and what would you be your approach to try shift the traffic to the individual page, without impacting the site too much?. Note: To add the home page keyword target term would have been updated? Thanks, Vahe

Does rel=canonical fix duplicate page titles?
I implemented rel=canonical on our pages which helped a lot, but my latest Moz crawl is still showing lots of duplicate page titles (2,000+). There are other ways to get to this page (depending on what feature you clicked, it will have a different URL) but will have the same page title. Does having rel=canonical in place fix the duplicate page title problem, or do I need to change something else? I was under the impression that the canonical tag would address this by telling the crawler which URL was the URL and the crawler would only use that one for the page title.

Charity project for local women's shelter - need help: will Google notice if you alter the document title with Javascript after the page loads?
I am doing some pro-bono work with a local shelter for female victims of domestic abuse. I am trying to help visitors to the site cover their tracks by employing a document.title change when the page loads using JavaScript. This shelter receives a lot of traffic from Google. I worry that the Google bots will see this javascript change and somehow penalize this site or modify the title in the SERPs. Has anyone had any experience with this kind of javascript maneuver? All help would be greatly appreciated!
