Page appearing multiple times in Warnings report
-
In reviewing my Moz warnings report, one page is appearing multiple times because the title is longer than recommended. Is this a bug in Moz?
The page is appearing with a number of different URLs, despite there being a rel="canonical" tag.
The page's canonical URL is:
http://betablog.org/wishing-and-hoping-and-praying/
And in the warnings report I'm seeing variations like this:
http://betablog.org/wishing-and-hoping-and-praying/?replytocom=26539
which are clearly links from the comments section.

Replytocom is a native WordPress error that can be a bit of a headache. I actually just answered a similar question about this a few days ago. that question was partially about Disqus but is still relevant. Here's the answer from that one:
Ah, Wordpress. The Replytocom parameter is an annoyance but can easily be fixed. Its not so much that removing Disqus is causing Replytocom... Disqus was just masking its presence. Replytocom exists as part of the native WordPress commenting system. Go to Webmaster Tools > Crawl > URL Parameters. Choose to Edit Replytocom, choose "Yes: Changes, reorders, or narrows page content", under How does it affect page content you can choose Other, and then choose to have Googlbot crawl No URLs with this parameter. You can also add replytocom to the Robots.txt for the blog to disallow it. And If you're using Yoast there's an option under SEO > Permalinks to remove ?replytocom variables.
