      After reading this article: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/setup-wordpress-for-seo-success

      I understand that it is best to index the archived categories, now that they are being indexed im getting duplicate errors from SEOmoz reports.

      Any suggestions?

      We added the canonical code but the issue still exists in the SEOmoz report.

        Bryan,

        With archives, I would suggest you noindex them. I think you may have misread this a bit and I know that all the initial terminology in WP can get confusing. With categories, you do index them typically. With archived posts, they are more likely to show duplicate content (And Dan points it out in his post).

        Hope it helps,

          Agree with Robert here. I've set up a number of blogs and done them this way.
