    Rank Math free

    Hi,

    I have just noticed that my mine shop page has this meta tag added in html code:

    <link rel=”next” href=”/shop/page/2/”>

    but there is not a page 2 for the shop, all categories are available in the first page.
    That goes ahead till page 11 or more.
    That sounds not good for seo because it seems there are duplicated pages.

    That meta information seems to be placed there when Rank Math plugin is active.
    If I disable it the problem is not present.

    Is it possible to fix it?

    Hello,

    I apologize for the issue you are facing with the meta tag on your WooCommerce main shop page. I understand that the “ tag is causing duplicate pages to appear in the search results, even though there is no page 2 for your shop.

    This issue seems to be related to the Rank Math plugin. To fix it, you can follow these steps:

    1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard and navigate to Rank Math > Titles & Meta > WooCommerce.

    2. Scroll down to the Pagination section and disable the option for Add rel=”next” and rel=”prev” to paginated archives.

    3. Save the changes.

    Here is a screenshot to help you locate the option:

    By disabling this option, Rank Math will no longer add the “ tag to your shop pages, resolving the issue of duplicate pages.
