Could A Plugin Be Causing My Issues?

I’ve been having some issues lately with keeping a Google ranking. I think I may have found the problem: Duplicate Content.

In a nutshell I found a flaw with the All In One SEO plugin that causes it to not do noindex for /page/ archives, even if you have it set to noindex archives. I’ll send a bug report in.

So basically my categories were being noindexed (but followed) correctly, but the /page/ pages were still being indexed, thus causing duplicate content issues with the permalink pages.

I can fix this by manually adding in the tags for now, but I think to prevent it in the future I’m going to switch over to displaying quotes from the posts instead of the entire posts on all pages other than the permalink page.

Please subscribe, or else I will cry. Do you really want to make a programmer cry?
