?_escaped_fragment_= Duplicate error in Webmaster

[Taiger]

Hi I am not sure where this came from ... ?escaped_fragment=

But in webmaster we are seeing hundreds of pages with this and thus webmaster is saying that we have Pages with duplicate title tags

How do I fix this, or remove it.

PS. I added

Disallow: /*escaped_fragment=DONOTCRAWL   to my Robots.txt

will this fix it?

You are on WordPress I guess? This is a common thing that might show up there we have the same thing. What we did is set up in Google Search Console that they need to ignore the URL parameter.

Hi Taiger,

You can find instructions on how to do this at https://www.google.com/support/webmasters/answer/1235687

The menu itself is found at https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/crawl-url-parameters

You'll just want to enter escaped_fragment when they ask parameter, and answer "No" to the questions regarding whether this changes content on the page.
