Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted November 23, 20213 yr Hello. I ask question in but i don't receive any answer, so execuse me, please, for needidng to duplicate question here, in support forum. Quote A question about canonical tags. I have set up the '/community/store/' section as the main community section ( '/community/' (default page in ACP)). After that, I received a notification from the Yandex search server that the '/community/store/' pages were excluded from the search on Yandex because it is a duplicates for '/community/' and the canonical link for these duplicates are not specified. As a result, all my links in '/community/store' disappeared from the search and this led to very tangible losses for me. Please tell me in which section of the admin panel I can configure the canonical view for the default community link, i.e. where I can configure the addition of such a tag to the <head> tag of the '/community/' page: <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/community/store"/> For more information, see the instructions of the Yandex search engine: https://yandex.ru/support/webmaster/robot-workings/canonical.html Right now I neeed to add <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/community/store"/> tag to Commerce app main page. Where and how I can do it ? Please, answer as soon as possible. Thanks. Julia
November 23, 20213 yr I have moved this to our community support area, as it would be outside the scope of support really. You would need likely need some amount of development to achieve this
November 23, 20213 yr Management I'm confused, the page at /community/ is totally different from /community/store/ - why would the search engine say they are duplicates?

Now I set default app "System" back, and try to get help from Yandex support. Also I write letter to hoster support, but hoster answer they can't help, because they can't set canaoncal link at server, only in page code. Now I wait answer from Yandex support.

But it not solve problem, Yandex crawler still say to '/community/store' : "visited, but not added into search base".

November 23, 20213 yr Author Yandex support answered. They recommend to add in robots.txt this string: Disallow: /community/$
February 18, 20223 yr Author Currently, rel=canonical is not prescribed for category pages in Commerce and for the main page in Commerce. For the rest of the community pages (forums, gallery, product page in Commerce), rel=canonical is prescribed normally. Can this be fixed?
