    Dear RankMath,

    Google Search Engine is accusing me of Duplicate without user-selected canonical but for two /feed pages and I have no idea how to solve this. This is what I’m getting:

    ”
    Duplicate without user-selected canonical
    These pages aren’t indexed or served on Google

    https://abstraktmusiclab.com/lead-like-artbat-remix-of-hypercolour/feed/
    https://abstraktmusiclab.com/an-aggressive-lead-like-anymas-consciousness/feed/
    ”

    However, I have no idea how to solve since these pages are even indexed or served on Google. I looked at your post about disabling RSS Feeds via Robots.txt but I don’t think that’s the issue, to be honest. I feel that the main issue is that Google is interpreting this as a problem where to be honest it shouldn’t be as the links are for different posts and posts that are not even live pages.

    Could you please help me to solve this?

    best,

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    Feed URLs are not created for humans, but for RSS feed crawlers and readers. They are only basic code versions of your actual content pages.

    If you have feed pages, ensure that they are not set to index. You do not want these pages to be indexed as Google doesn’t like them and would most not likely not show them to users anyways.

    In this case, you can disallow bots from crawling the feed URLs from the robots.txt file at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Edit Robots.txt

    User-Agent: *
Disallow: */feed/

    Once done, give Google some time to recrawl your site to reflect the changes.

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you.
