Duplicate Post Titles in WordPress with
-
Hi,
First off, this is a WordPress specific question.
we migrated a site into WordPress, with hundreds of long articles that are split into 3 or 4 pages each. Each of these articles was entered as an individual post, split into different pages using the tag.
We're using the yoast seo plugin.
The problem then is that each of the pages gets the same title and meta description.
Has anyone a good solution to differentiate the pages?
Thanks,

Thanks for the answers guys - both helpful.

Hi Andy,
I would suggest running rel=next and rel=prev canonical tags with these.
Read more about it here http://yoast.com/rel-next-prev-paginated-archives/
Also although all-in-one seo is a good plugin I would suggest sticking with yoast. I would point out, do not attempt to run both at the one time either.
Hope this helps.

I would highly recommend the All In One SEO Pack. This plugin is feature rich, and adds a "page 2", "page 3" or whatever you'd like to additional pages so that you don't get duplicate page titles and so on.
I've been using it for years and have it on over 20 different blogs. A definite A+

Duplicate page titles for blog snippets pages
I can't figure the answer to this issue, on my blog I have a number of pages which each show snippets and an image for each blog entry, these are called /recent-weddings/page/1 /2 /3 and so on. I'm getting duplicate page titles for these but can't find anywhere on Wordpress to set a unique title for them. So http://www.weddingphotojournalist.co.uk/recent-weddings/…/2/ has the same title as http://www.weddingphotojournalist.co.uk/recent-weddings/…/3/

Missing Titles?
Hi All, Don't know if anyone can help me but Moz is showing lots of errors for my website for not having title tags for pages when they do? Also when a user refines they search results it is seeing every instance of this as a new page - we have canonical tags across the site to stop this happening yet it is still occurring each time - is there anything else we can do to resolve this problem? It's creating lots of errors for us. Thanks, Laura

Duplicate Content?
My site has been archiving our newsletters since 2001. It's been helpful because our site visitors can search a database for ideas from those newsletters. (There are hundreds of pages with similar titles: archive1-Jan2000, archive2-feb2000, archive3-mar2000, etc.) But, I see they are being marked as "similar content." Even though the actual page content is not the same. Could this adversely affect SEO? And if so, how can I correct it? Would a separate folder of archived pages with a "nofollow robot" solve this issue? And would my site visitors still be able to search within the site with a nofollow robot?
