Using Free News Pro (https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_free_news_pro/) Newspaper theme. In header there is a subscribe button. The code in header (see below) has created 800+ blog post URLs with tds-switching-plans-wizard appended to it!!!
Even when removing the subscribe button from the header and deactivating the tagDiv Opt-In Builder plugin the code causing the issue remains in the source code! I noticed that several tickets were registered in the past mentioning this problem but no solution was ever mentioned!
<div class="tds-button td-fix-index"><a
href="tds-switching-plans-wizard/"
title="Subscribe"
class="tds-button1 tdm-btn tdm-btn-sm tdi_22" ><span class="tdm-btn-text">Subscribe</span></div>
<div class="tds-button td-fix-index"><a
href="tds-switching-plans-wizard/"
title="Subscribe"
class="tds-button1 tdm-btn tdm-btn-sm tdi_33" ><span class="tdm-btn-text">Subscribe</span></div>
Please provide a fix ASAP or provide instructions how we can remove the code below from header.
This is affecting our SEO badly!
Thanks, Stefan
Hello,
Please make sure you have deleted the button from the desktop header, sticky header, mobile header, and sticky mobile header as well. After that, use the option to remove the URL https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9689846?hl=en -> https://seotesting.com/google-search-console/url-not-found-404-errors/
Thank you!
Hi Anamaria.
Thanks a lot for getting back on this. That did the trick!
I noticed that the subscribe button was still available on the mobile + mobile sticky header. After removing the button on both headers the code is no longer in the source!
It’s recommended to not use < a href=”tds-switching-plans-wizard/ > in the code to prevent the behaviour I reported. Similar tickets here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/search/tds-switching-plans-wizard/
This button should only link imo to domain.com/tds-switching-plans-wizard. Can this be fixed in a future theme version please?
Thanks a lot.
Hi,
I’m glad it’s been resolved. I will pass this information on to the designers.
Have a great day!
