That's no problem. I suspect that it has to be one of your plugins doing that. I'm not sure why it would want to do that though.

The update seems to be working just fine thank you very much. Sorry I didn't get a chance to reply to your questions earlier I was at work. I put in the echo of $wp_version. It displays the correct version when I am in the admin side but on the user side it doesn't display anything. I am not sure why that is. The check for empty works but now i'm very curious as to why the site doesn't have a version when it's not in the back end.

Ah.. I think I know why. Do you have any plugins that remove the WordPress version? The only reason I can think what is causing this is that your $wp_version global was unset somehow.

That's odd. I have 2.7.1 and it works fine for me. Do you have a beta version of 2.7.1 or something? Can you try "echo $wp_version;" before the version check in seo-no-duplicate.php and see if it says "2.7.1"?

My site is 2.7.1 but your version check says the plugin requires at least 2.7 and keeps the rest of my site from rendering. I had to disable the plugin. I hope you can fix this soon.

Thanks

I have had another look and I am not sure this plugin does what I require. Please advise. I set a dummy canonical for this page http://www.savercode.co.uk/pyjama-room/ as http://www.savercode.co.uk/fred/ and it works fine. But where the content is duplicated such as http://www.savercode.co.uk/category/sector/clothi... there is no dummy canonical available. My Wordpress installation is standard using hybrid-news theme.

Hello,

At Dashboard Of WP, I've received following error related with your plugin.

Hi Philip, I could not reproduce this problem on my side. Is there anything special about your WordPress installation?

@Philip
That sounds like a bug to me. I will fix it in the next release. Please stay tuned to the RSS feed!

Not sure if I am understanding this right. Tested the plugin on a page entitled:
http://www.savercode.co.uk/category/sector/clothi…
In the custom feature I changed this to:
http://www.savercode.co.uk/uniqlo
But it still lists the original longer url in the source code:
http://www.savercode.co.uk/category/alphabetical/u/uniqlo1/"/>

Should not the link rel be changed when using the manual override?

@johnray
When you install this plugin, the next time Google spiders both the wrong and the right version of the page, it will see the canonical settings at the top of the page being set to the right version of the page and correct the duplicate content issue for you. Now the hardest part is to tell Google to spider both the wrong and the right version of the page.

Hi i just want to ask…I re-edited my permalink because I had one word misspelled..the problem with it is that google considered both the wrong spelling and the correct one…when I went to webmasters I have a duplicate content issue…will your plugin help?

@nop
Canonical settings just tell the Googlebot what the preferred URL for a certain page is. For example, by default Googlebot sees these pages as different pages:
http://example.com/2009/03/06/my-title/
http://example.com/my-category/my-title/
http://example.com/my-category/my-title/#comments
http://example.com/my-category/my-title/?key=valu…
and marks them as duplicate content. You need to set the canonical URL to something like "http://example.com/my-category/my-title/" so that the Googlebot knows that the other URLs are indeed the same page, so it will not index this duplicate content (and possible hurt your SEO score).
