  • Hello,

    Thanks for contacting us, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    The affected URLs are with the query parameters and they are supposed to have the canonical set as the main URL. However, they shouldn’t be discovered by Google. You can add the following rules to your robots.txt file in WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Edit Robots.txt to prevent Google from crawling such URLs:

    Disallow: *?msclkid=*
    Disallow: *?utm_source*
    Disallow: *?ref=*
    Disallow: *?filtered=*

    Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Thank you.
