Canonicalisation/ Moz/ WP.

[newstd100]

Hi, I've recently put a new site live using Wordpress, and have hooked it up to Moz Analytics.

Moz is reporting >1000 pages with 'missing meta description page', and >250 with 'duplicate page content'. The issues seem to be being flagged by pages with '?sort=asc&view=main', ?show=paged&view=main, '?sort=ratedup&show=all&view=list', etc.

I have a number of category pages, which users can filter by etc to give them the information in the way they want to see it.

I have this '

I haven't got many pages indexed by Google yet, so can't see if they're hitting the same issues as Moz.

Any help/ advice appreciated.

Could you give me your domain? I am not sure if Moz has fixed the canonical issue, but I know it didn't recognize those in the past. I am happy to check your code myself if you can give me the site.

You have no duplicate problems. The canonicals seem to be in place. I see no URLs like that without a canonical or redirect in my crawl.

Just as a heads up though, when I crawled, I got 107 total pages that would be indexed, does that sound right?

Hi Kate - really appreciate you putting my mind at ease!

107 sounds about right, although I wonder if it's picking up some of the 'thin' category pages for example that WP creates. I really need to learn WP!
