Duplicate content issues on recurring events

[cynthia.ord]

I’m using the Events Calendar as a tour schedule for indefinitely recurring events:
https://my420tours.com/calendar/

Now I’m getting website health alerts from my SEO software about the following issues:
Duplicate content
Duplicate title tags

Does The Events Calendar have a built-in feature to prevent recurring events from being crawled?

Hi. Please review https://yoast.com/duplicate-content/ and https://moz.com/learn/seo/duplicate-content and let me know which route you’d suggest is the best for your situation. I might be able to help toward that end once you let me know.

Hi Cliff,

We’re creating hundreds of URLs with the Events Calendar plugin in order to
display our (frequently) recurring events.

I can’t manually fix each of the pages generated, nor can I access the
header HTML code for these pages through the WordPress interface.

Is there anything automated that Events Calendar can do to add a ‘nofollow’
to recurring events pages?

As suggested by https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/8962585-re-think-the-seo-to-cut-down-on-duplicate-content, I think it’d be easy to add a rel=canonical to the “See All” event series archive (e.g. https://my420tours.com/calendar/greenhouse-grow-tour/all/). That way the next upcoming events are shown.

Would that be a good path forward for you?

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
