Is that a problem for indexing?

Hi all, I have an issue driving me crazy thant I think it could be impacting in the SERPs. My site has a spanish version "www.tarifakitesurfcamp" and an english version "www.tarifakitesurfcamp.com/en". These two "pages" in the CMS ("inicio" and "home") have the same title and the same description tag (in spanish) as the plugin ALL in one SEO only allows me to write one unique title and description for the home page via GENERAL OPTIONS (there's an option for "home title" and for "home description").. If a try to assign a title and a description individually for each page it doesn't work (I can't see the titles and description in the source code" of those pages. On the other hand, there's another page that is http://www.tarifakitesurfcamp.com/?attachment_id= which I can't locate in the CMS within pages section. This page has the same tittle and description as well. Could anyone give me a solution?
Thanks.

ok Thanks for your answer!

Well, I'm not sure since I'm not familiar with that plugin, try it's documentation or just googling it.
A quick search shows relevant results, even a thread by the plugin's author referring to the issue with the title and the other plugin you are using, but I guess it would be a lot better to create an actual page, at least for your index.

thanks. Yes Branagan I'm generating the english site with the wpml plugin. How could I set the title and the description without de ALL in SEO plugin? Accessing the code itself? I mean, in the header.php file? But this one is common to the entire wp site isn't it? I tried to do it individually with the SEO plugin but it didn't wordk.
Thanks for answering.

You should be able to set different titles and descriptions as they are different pages, or are you generating the English page with some kind of automatic translation or plugin?
Try to set the titles directly from WordPress instead of the ALL in one SEO plugin and see if that works.
Concerning the ?attachment_id= page, it shows an empty page with the blog title.
This is generated by WP when you link an attachment (an image for example), one solution would be to make sure none of your attachments are linking to it's attachment page or just not linking at all. Another could be to upload an empty file named 'attachment.php' to your WP root directory with a noindex tag and/or redirect it to your home page.Here's another solution you could try: http://www.lancelhoff.com/wordpress-disable-image-attachment-page-links/
See if it works.

No index for http version of website
Hi, I've had a message from Google search console to say the sitemap for the http version of my site is tagged as no index. As the https version is indexed, do I need to change the http version to be indexed as well? Do I need to keep the http version of the site in search console alongside the https version, or should I remove it? Advice appreciated!

No-index or 301 - custom wordpress archives
Hi, We are using custom wordpresss posts to showcase different services we provide, these are then grouped within custom archives. These custom archive pages are our main keyword landing pages and traffic generators (although ranking is fairly average). It's come to my attention that these custom posts have also been listed in the wordpress standard categories, with an identical title, excerpts and near identical urls as the custom archives. This appears to have been the case for quite a while. We are concerned that this is may causing duplicate content issues and unsure how to proceed. We have been advised to simply no-index the redundant 'standard' categories but as they have been indexed for some time we are cautious of causing any upset with search engines (although the categories are indexed they are not ranking for any major keywords) Are we best 301ing the redundant category to the custom archives or using a canonical tags or simply no-indexing the categories like other archive pages? Any advice is aprreciated Many thanks BC

Google Authorship Problems
Hi, I seem to be having a few problems with getting google authors set up on Wordpress. I've set up my G+ account, put the link to my blog http://appointedd.com/blog/ and then registered it on the yoast plugin. However, I'm not sure it's set up correctly and I can't seem to be able to get it to work. I'm hoping a fine someone here has experience in this as I'm a little flustered. thanks.

Creating a product per size causing duplicate content problems?
I have an e-commerce site and in order to receive a listing for each size and color in Google Merchant, I've created a new product for each size and color. The problem is that since I did this, the canonical tags aren't correct and there isn't a way to change them manually with the platform I'm on. I feel like this is one of the main reasons I've been dropping in the rankings. Should I delete all duplicate products? The system will take care of canonical tags automatically when creating a new size/color within the system (how it's supposed to be created) but the canonical tags become messy when I duplicate a product and edit the size/color to create a "whole new product". Here is an example of what I'm referring to: http://www.carbonconnection.com/search.php?search_query=nalini+rigel&x=0&y=0 (this problem actually isn't mine, it's a friend's but for the sake of simplicity and gaining a second opinion to be sure before he redoes all of his products, I'm asking as though it were my issue)

H1 tags the same on all pages - problem?
I generally use wordpress as a CMS and have the H1 tag coded in the header.php include file. This results as it being the same in all page - I normally do something like Keyword - Company name and set the company logo as the background and move the text off screen using text indent (CSS). Is having the same on every page a bad thing? I might be tricky to change so their all unique.
