Duplicate page for ?filter_by=featured

Hi

Google tells me about pages with tags and duplicate descriptions
These are pages of sub-categories such as

site. com/categoy1/category2/? filter_by=featured

instead of redirect to
site. com/categoy1/category2/category 2

actually show a page with no content to display
and is not a good thing on the seo side.

I have already implemented this solution

to remove the category drop-down filter.

But how to solve the problem of filter_by=featured
with a nofollow or 404 error?

Yoast does not offer this possibility…

Thanks

Hi Bogdan

is already disabled…
but the problem remains

Thanks

…The problem is not to remove the category drop-down filter.

is parameter ?filter_by=featured that attached to the categories creates
a duplicate page with “no content to display” error

Thanks

Hi Bogdan,

to solve i put this condition in the htaccess

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} “filter_by=”[NC]
RewriteRule (. *) /$1? [R=301,L]

Do you think is ok or there may be some better solution?

Thanks
