      Anyone have any experience in fixing the duplicate Title tag on a Wordpress blog multiple pages

      Basically the title tag remains the same on the pages

      /Blog/

      /Blog/Page/2/

      /Blog/Page/3/

      My good friend Yoast Plugin doesn't seem to of resolved this (Unless i have missed something?)

      I don't really see this to be effecting anything and wouldn't of through it would either, but it would be nice to not see the notification within Moz site crawls and campaigns etc, its more of a cosmetic problem

      Any solutions ?

      Thanks

      James

        It's in the Yoast settings Thomas.  Titles & Meta's >> Taxonomies

        I'm astounded I had never thought of this as the solution to my own issue.  Thanks to everyone above.

          I am having this same problem, and I don't understand the instructions here for how to fix it.

          If I go to edit category and add the code to the title, it just adds the code (character for character) to the url and still gives me /page/2 after. I still have a duplicate title.

          If I go to Yoast SEO settings - titles and metas and go over to the archive tab, there is nothing for category archive. Only author and date.

          Where do I put this code?

                  Oh and i have always used Yoast,

                  Why would All in one resolve this ?

                  Can they be used in conjunction ? i assume not i could see that causing problems ?

                    Thanks,

                    Well the blog is setup sort of like an archive of past posts and news,

                    I have disabled tags index (dont use them anyway), date archive is disabled and only use Categories but only for usability for readers and these category indexes are set to no index anyway to avoid duplication,

                    So the articles index of pages 2 and upwards are all unique as everything else is no index,

                    I don't want to have all of my articles indexed listed onto page 1 as that wouldn't be good for my users,

                    So really i just need to reword the title tags of pages 2 and upwards to make them unique

                    James
