Theme generating empty paginated pages causing internal duplication

Hello,

In Google Search Console i found that theme is somehow generating empty duplicate pages that doesnt really exist and this is causing internal duplication. These are higher numbers than real pages.

Looks like this:

https://www.zaujimavysvet.sk/strana/1485/

Why is that?

Thank you

Hello @Wriper!

They seems to be different pages without posts. Our theme has no settings to duplicate and generate pages like this.
Make a test and deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv ones, also if you are using a cache plugin, deactivate it, clear all cache and try again.
After all modifications, you need to reindex your website on Google. It may take some more time.

Let me know the results!

Thank you!

Hello,

Yes it is generated by your theme. You can see it also in demo when you write high paginated number into url your page looks same as mine:

https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_pro/page/2303/

Problem is this should be noindexed by default or 404 Error. There are numerous ways how google can index these for example pagination spammed by bots so crawlers are actually crawling these urls because there is no tag, or 404 page.
