Canonical bug – May duplicate any post

  • You can write any numbers after the slash on your website like: website.com/article/12323 – and it will be thу same post – website.com/article
    It would be OK, if the rel=canonical would be website.com/article
    But for some reason the canonical is website.com/article/12323 – and this is f*kdup.
    Imagine that someone who do not really like you, will make A LOT of that kind of links – your website will have a good chanсe to be banned for duplicate content.
    So basically, when you use AIOSP you put your website in a dangerous position, cause developers did this.

  • Hi hardballs,

    Adding a number after a URL like that in WordPress means you’re accessing a page in a paginated post or archive; what that URL resolves to should be managed by WordPress and by your theme, but All in One SEO Pack does have an option for managing this as well, it’s called “No Pagination for Canonical URLs”, and appears under the option for Canonical URLs. Alternatively, if you don’t want to use All in One SEO Pack to manage your canonical URLs, you can just uncheck “Canonical URLs”.
