Dynamic page link throwing error on Google search console

Hello,

Thanks for contacting us and we regret the inconvenience caused.

I checked your sitemap and I was able to find a long list of product comparison links with different compareids.

I checked the source of these links and I was unable to find a Canonical tag. I removed the query string (?compareids=) from the URL and still, there were no canonical tags found. The only place (in those URLs), where the canonical tag is present is the homepage.

It is likely that Google might be picking the URL before the query string and marking it as duplicate content.

However, could you please share a screenshot of the error in your Google Search Console account, using a tool like imgur.com, as it’ll help us understand the insights of the issue.

Looking forward to helping you.

Thanks.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

As mentioned in my previous reply, there are no canonical tags set on the product comparison pages, and due to this Google is treating the pages as duplicates.

You can modify and use the below filter to create a condition for selecting the product comparison pages and adding canonical tags accordingly.

/**
 * Allow changing of the canonical URL.
 *
 * @param string $canonical The canonical URL.
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/canonical', function( $canonical ) {
	return $canonical;
});

If you’re not sure, then you may also hire a developer to do this for you.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.
