      In a crawl report  a duplicate page content warning has been displayed. The two urls are

      1. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop
      and
      2. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/

      It's a WordPress site and I cannot find the second page anywhere in the list of All Pages in the Admin (I want to add canonicalisation code) When I view the 2nd page and click Edit Page, it redirects to the 1st page.

      Any ideas where SEOMoz would be finding this 2nd page or how it might be being generated?

      (btw I didn't build this site)

      Thanks

      Simon

        It looks like the page that links to the page:

        http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/

        is the "prev" and "1" link in the pagination menu on this page:

        http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/page/2/

          I would have to strongly agree with Chris's guests or that WordPress is simply treating your category as a page as it does commonly. The 2 I received are the ones below. You can clearly see 2 separate and URLs with category catalog being the difference any category can be a page

          http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/

          http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/

          I hope I have been of some help to you,

          Thomas

            I just wanted to be clear the reason you cannot find it in your page list is it's in your categories list

              Hi,

              Yes I think that's correct. As it turns out Google Webmaster didn't pick up on this as a problem, though it did list all the pages that form part of the checkout process which I've blocked using robots.txt)

              Think I'm all good now, thanks for the replies!

                Have you gotten the opportunity to run the site through

                http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test

                it tells you it takes 2 days but I find normally takes about 20 min. the information it gives I think is far greater than what Google Webmaster tools can ever do. Are you replying to me when you say you think it's correct about the pages having one being a category and the other being a page? Were you referring to the challenge that posted 1st? I do a lot of WordPress and would be more than happy to look at it again if you would like me to?

                this answered your question then? if it did please follow the guidelines and give credit where you feel are appropriate.

                Respectfully,

                Thomas Zickell

                • 90% of our sites that are designed are in wordpress and the report brings up "duplicate" content errors. I presume this is down to a conical error?
