WordPress - duplicate content

[AAttias]

I'm using WordPress for my website. However, whenever I use the post section for news, I get a report back from SEOmoz saying that there's duplicate content. What it does is it posts them in the Category and Archive section. Does anyone know if Google sees this as duplicate content and if so how to stop it?

Thanks

Which SEO plugIn do you use on you site?

Brian,

can't you disable the function archive? Then you just have the message/content in your category and no longer in any archive.

Maybe this is what you are looking for:

Have you rel=canonical each post?

Rather than disable or de-index archives, consider de-indexing the paginated versions (page 1,2,3,etc.), as this is likely causing the penalty. I also recommend adding category (and tag, if applicable) descriptions to the archive templates.

Yoast's WordPress SEO plugin can handle the de-indexing of the paginated archive/index pages.

I'm already using Yoast SEO plugin. The thing is that I'm useless with code. I really don't understand what anyone is saying, so may have to break it down in easy to understand terminology.

Brian,

Frankly it is quite weird that you using great SEO plugIn and still have duplicate content issues. As far as I'm aware Yoast plug-in should add canonical URL's tag automatically if you have duplicate content on your website.

Did you modified Yast plug in? - If yes - set everything to default.

Changed it,s settings? - if yes - change everything to default.

Do you use fresh version of it? - if no - disable, uninstall, download and reinstall it again.

Best of luck!
