Next Gen Gallery Crawler Problem
-
I use the Next gen gallery plugin on my wordpress sites.
The moz crawler reports a ton of high importance issues with this plugin because it creates duplicate pages
It will have domain.com/page, domain.com/page/gallery, domain.com/page/gallery/1/, domain.com/page/gallery/2/
This is a pretty popular plugin so I am hoping there is some way of fixing this relatively easy. I can imagine i need to set up a rel canonical but there does not seem to be an easy way to do so.
Thoughts?

Yes, if /page/gallery/1/, /page/gallery/2/ are exact duplicates just place a canonical tag on the /page/gallery (and the duplicates) referencing /page/gallery.
Another recommendation to avoid duplicate/confusion by search engines: apply rel="next" and rel="prev" to the series of gallery pages. Once you get enough images, I'm guessing the URL structure will become /page/gallery/page_2, 3, 4, etc. (or something like that).
The next/prev elements let the search engine know they are a series of a type of content (in this case, images) and are associated.
That type of content can be real headaches for us SEOs! Good luck.

I understand that. My problem is trying to implement it within the plugin that I did not develop. Since it is a vastly popular plugin I was more so looking to see if anybody knows of how to do so already. It does not give me access to "page 1 gallery" "page 2 gallery" for me to put a rel canonical in place

Download the Yoast SEO plugin. It'll help you solve nearly all problems. Hands down the best WP plugin for SEO.

Already tried that plugin and it did not have this functionality.

You may want to double check that. I'm not a Yoast specialist, per se, but I've never had that plugin not solve this type of problem. And from what you've described, I'm sure Yoast can help with that. It's a little complex, maybe take a second look-through with a developer.

Ill look again. Thanks so much for the help
