more#-x jump link question

  • I noticed at the end of my posts urls on mobile devices it was adding something like “#more3456” so I added this php code “add_filter( ‘generate_more_jump’, ‘__return_false’ );” to remove it but if I noticed if I go to the old url with the “#more3456” it redirect to the one without it so my question is adding that php code to get rid of the “#more3245” at the end of urls will that just create 2 urls now for every new post make? Just wondering what’s going on because I know google doesn’t like a website with a bunch of 301 redirects so I rather it not create the a url with “#more3456” from new posts at all

    This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.

    If you can install plugins, install and activate “Health Check”: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/health-check/
    It will add some additional features under the menu item under Tools > Site Health.
    On its troubleshooting tab, you can Enable Troubleshooting Mode. This will disable all plugins, switch to a standard WordPress theme (if available), allow you to turn your plugins on and off and switch between themes, without affecting normal visitors to your site. This allows you to test for various compatibility issues.
    There’s a more detailed description about how to use the Health Check plugin and its Troubleshooting Mode at https://make.www.ads-software.com/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/

    I think you misunderstood
    The more#-x jump link is added by WordPress whenever a user includes a Read More tag in their content. It is the default behavior of WordPress

    @justin4232 The #more3245 adding to the URL is a title link that Google doesn’t consider as a unique URL. This type of link is often used to create smooth scrolling menu links that will quickly scroll down to a specific element on the page. In the case you are mentioning they are being used with a bit of javascript to hide/display the full test of a post. Again this isn’t considered as a unique URL by Google but is an important feature for your users to be able to read the full text of a post. The best way to not include this feature on your site is to remove the Read More tag from your posts. If you have a lot of posts you could use a search and replace plugin to remove it from all posts very quickly.
