I think you’re right, that having the /all/ link display the content from the first in the series and then have all future recurring events form that series use the /all/ URL as canonical would be the best solution in this case. Also an option so that all future events don’t have unique URLs, but only appear in the calendar as future dates would be ideal.

Good to know you’re planning on improving the SEO in future versions, and I look forward to that.

I’ll certainly do as you suggest and post these requests in the feature request area, and hopefully something will come of it.

Thanks for your help,

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for the speedy reply. I’m afraid this doesn’t quite solve the problem.

I’ve read the thread you mention about the canonical link the plugin uses, but it causes my problem because it makes search engines think each page is separate. Also the meta code also ensures each page is separate. This is the opposite of what I want to achieve.

I’m afraid I don’t know how to alter the plugin’s functionality so that it uses the next event’s URL as the canonical for all future events in that series. Is this something you can assist me with?

I’m afraid breaking the content out of its series doesn’t help either. I’d have to re-write all the pages that have “broken out” of the series and that just adds way too much work when we have 100+ recurring events.

I think we’re pretty much left with the canonical URL fix, if that’s at all possible?
