How to Handle duplicate pages/titles in Wordpress

[heymarshall]

The wordpress blog causes problems with page titles. If you go to the second page of blog posts it there's a different URL but with the same page title.

for example: page 1: site/blog page 2: site/blog/page/2 Each page gets flagged for duplicate page titles.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts,

What SEO plugin are you using? If Yoast, there should be settings you can apply to differentiate subsequent pages' titles.

However, your blog should have canonical and/or rel/next settings added to properly inform Google (and other SEs) that the page being viewed is page 2..3..4..5..ect. Then, the SEs understand that this is a continuation of the original page and factor on-page SEO into the ranking accordingly (i.e. do not count the duplicate titles against you).

If you are using a plugin such as Yoast- you can ask to no-follow and de-index tags and category pages that would cause this duplicate content issue. This way only your blog post url will be indexed but users on the site can still access the tag links.
