WordPress E-Commerce Plugin Duplicate Content Problem

[theanglemedia]

I am working on a wordpress website that uses the WP E-Commerce plugin. I am using the Yoast seo plugin but not totally familiar with it. I have noticed that WP E-Commerce creates duplicate content issues.

Here's an example: http://www.domain.com/parent-category/product-url-1/ is the same content as http://www.domain.com/parent-category/child-category/product-url-1/.

I was wondering which of these following options are the best solution:

1. 301 redirect the multiple instances to one page
2. noindex all but one instance
3. Use the canonical tag (i've used this tag before for telling SE's to use the www version of a page but not sure if it's the appropriate for this)
4. a combination of one of these 3 options?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, If memory serves me correctly. Yoast has an option which allows you to remove the catagory for any post. This should apply for the commerce products too. Please let me know if this helps you. regards Stef
