Recommended Posts

Hi


Im getting duplicate Meta descriptions and title tags on a lot of my pages,

It seems the content only is the printer verison.

 


 


This is showing as problems on google webmaster tools


 


Any ideas on how to prevent this and just have one page?


 


Thanks

same problem here! Anybody has a solution?

Google webmaster tools tells me that I have duplicate description in these pages:

 

/index.php?id_product=18&controller=product

/malnido/18-stola-lino.html

 

or

 

/content/3-condizioni-generali-vendita

/index.php?id_cms=3&controller=cms

The solution is to use a canonical url on your site. You can buy a module for it, or you can program a string replace on the url in the template that does it. 

I am using the default PS template, anybody can tell me hot to write this string or has one ready to use?

Thank you

I think that the solution "Disallow: /*content_only=1   in robots.txt" no is the best. I think is better to make a 301 redirect or use a canonical urls, but I have a big confussion with this, is complicated for me and I don't know what I can do. I'm gone

Hello people,

similar problem here on my categories pagination, but the strange thing is only desc are duplicated everything is fine with met titles! Makes me wonder if my problem is somehow related only to descriptions.has anyone seen something like that?

 

post-370235-0-44969400-1422085151_thumb.jpg

 

thanks alot

 

Edited: ok, i got my problem fixed - solution i found here in the forum. in my header.tpl file ive changed one row to 

{if isset($meta_description) AND $meta_description}

<meta name="description" content="{$meta_description|escape:html:'UTF-8'}{if isset($smarty.get.p) && $smarty.get.p} ({$smarty.get.p}){/if}" />
{/if}

 

now my meta desc appear with page number at the end, just like my titles, so i guess its all ok now
