CorneM Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 One of our clients asked that we build a webshop for them with PrestaShop. They're currently using version 1.5.4.0. The website has been up and running for about 4 months now and there is one rather pressing issue - which other people also seem to be having. The problem is that Google Webmaster Tools is reporting hundreds of duplicate pages (yes, hundreds). The shop contains hundreds of products, some of which appear in multiple categories. Adding a <link rel="canonical" href="..." /> should solve this problem. It looks like PrestaShop supports this by default, because there is a 'canonical url' feature in the SEO section of the admin module. However, we've always had this feature activated, so it obviously doesn't work. Also, there is no such canonical link tag in the source code. On the SEO page, it says that your theme must be compatible with the canonical URL feature, so my question is, how do you make your theme compatible with the canonical URL feature? When I use the default theme, the canonical URL is not there, so does even the default theme not support this, or does this feature not do what it should do and should we use a third-party module? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
