Hi Bogdan,

the problem specified from google webmaster is in my home page

http://www.site.com/
http://www.site.com/page/4/

if i put in url “site.com/page/(any number)” I do not have page 404
in response, but same of site.com

Page has canonical but it could be dangerous for seo?

With your solution https://perishablepress.com/wordpress-infinite-duplicate-content/comment-page-2/
get wrong pagination (404) also on category…

Thanks!

Hi,
Please switch to a wp default theme and see if you still get the error and try to force a page number like the error you get now. Let us know if only our theme has this issue.
Thanks.

Hi Bogdan

probably is a wordpress problem, but with the new mobile theme version pagination is also in home and google notices.

to avoid duplication i think must add %%pagenumber%%% in yoast home title and description,
if you doesn’t have a better solution …

thanks
