Duplicate page reported in Wordpress site, but I can't find it in All Pages list
-
In a crawl report a duplicate page content warning has been displayed. The two urls are
1. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop
and
2. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/It's a WordPress site and I cannot find the second page anywhere in the list of All Pages in the Admin (I want to add canonicalisation code) When I view the 2nd page and click Edit Page, it redirects to the 1st page.
Any ideas where SEOMoz would be finding this 2nd page or how it might be being generated?
(btw I didn't build this site)
Thanks
Simon

Have you gotten the opportunity to run the site through
http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test
it tells you it takes 2 days but I find normally takes about 20 min. the information it gives I think is far greater than what Google Webmaster tools can ever do. Are you replying to me when you say you think it's correct about the pages having one being a category and the other being a page? Were you referring to the challenge that posted 1st? I do a lot of WordPress and would be more than happy to look at it again if you would like me to?
this answered your question then? if it did please follow the guidelines and give credit where you feel are appropriate.
Respectfully,
Thomas Zickell

Hi,
Yes I think that's correct. As it turns out Google Webmaster didn't pick up on this as a problem, though it did list all the pages that form part of the checkout process which I've blocked using robots.txt)
Think I'm all good now, thanks for the replies!

I just wanted to be clear the reason you cannot find it in your page list is it's in your categories list

I would have to strongly agree with Chris's guests or that WordPress is simply treating your category as a page as it does commonly. The 2 I received are the ones below. You can clearly see 2 separate and URLs with category catalog being the difference any category can be a page
http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/
http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/
I hope I have been of some help to you,
Thomas

It looks like the page that links to the page:
http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/
is the "prev" and "1" link in the pagination menu on this page:

Moz isn't recognizing content on our website hosted on bubble.is
Hi all. We have a bubble.is site and it's difficult to get Moz to recognize the text on the site (even though Google seems to recognize it most of the time). The pages are recognized...just not the text. **In case you want to play around: ** https:getmarlow.com/about https://getmarlow.com/article/gather-data-on-where-your-time-and-energy-go-1579415891021x868278876529492000

Source page showsI have 2 h1 tags on my page. I can only find one.
When I grade my page it says I have more than one h1 tag. I view the source page and it shows there are two h1 headings with the same wording. If I delete the one h1 heading I can find, the page source shows I have deleted both of them. I don't know how to get to the other heading to delete it. And I'm off page one of google! Can anybody help? Clay Stephens

Does Open Site Explorer violate Google's Terms of service?
According to Google's Webmaster Guidelines: "Don't use unauthorized computer programs to submit pages, check rankings, etc. Such programs consume computing resources and violate our Terms of Service." Does that mean Open Site Explorer is a violation of those Terms of Service, or is it authorized?

Why do pages with canonical urls show in my report as a "Duplicate Page Title"?
eg: Page One

No canonical url Page Two
<title>Page one</title> Page two is counted as being a page with a duplicate page title.
Shouldn't it be excluded?0 -
How can I track multiple pages using SEOMoz
Hi there, I setup my domain along with 20 keywords to target. One of the first things I learned is not to focus on too many keywords per page. For this reason I decided to create 5 sub pages and link these pages on my index page. My questions to you: 1. Does SEOMoz track the keyword rankings for the URL entered only?
Moz Pro | | debeenus
2. If the answer for 1 is YES, Would I have to setup those 5 extra URL's as new sites along with their 3 to 5 keywords? Thank you,0 -
