Edit Older Entries Page/2

[RameshNL]

Good day,

Wordpress automatically creates an "older entries" page, however when visiting that page I cannot find any option to actually edit that page to insert another title for instance, because in SEO this is considered as duplicate titles, thus penalty.

Is there a way to edit for example <domain>/page/2?

Thank you.

You do not edit these pages directly. You edit or add posts and WordPress creates these pages based on the posts.

I see. When I examined it further, I noticed that my sticky post was flagged as a duplicate page, because the entire post returns on the older entries page. It was flagged by Woorank SEO Analysis, an addon on Firefox.

Should I ignore the whole matter and assume Google doesn't penalize this as duplicate because it is Wordpress, or should the post be adjusted somehow so it won't show up on the older entries page?

Thank you.

They shouldn't penalize since it is WordPress and on the same site. One way to fix it is to use the MORE tag so that only an excerpt is shown on the main page.

Oh, that's great. And how can I do that exactly? Thanks for your help.

In the post editor there is a button on the toolbar that looks like a page with a dashed line through it. Put your edit cursor where you want the break to be and click on the button. That will insert the tag.
