      all of my pages are working fine. but i added my sitemap to my footer in my website and when i click on my blog from my footer it takes me to the homepage. so now im having duplicate content for two diff urls. ive tried adding a rel=canonical and a 301 redirect to the blog page but it doesnt resolve the problem. also, when i go to my footer and click blog. after it brings me to the homepage ill try to click on my pages from the original bar at the top of my screen and it will bring me to the right pages. but it will have the same blog url in the search bar even when im on other pages. other than that all of my pages in my footer and in my homepage toolbar work fine. its just that one particular problem with the blog page in the footer and how it stays with the same blog url on every page after i click the blog in the footer. can someone please help. im using yoast and idk if i should disable it or what.

            Install WordPress SEO and you can update the SEO page title and description for every one of your pages. Here's a link:

            http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/

            If you don't understand how, Yoast has an FAQ here:

            http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/faq/

            I suggest reading up on it and using it to solve these problems. It's very quick to set up and easy to use.
