    Hi Enfold,

    Today I received a message that told me that certain pages that use pagination are not indexed by Google because I put a canonical tag to the original page. So our /blog page has a canonical URL set, but for best practice the pagination parameters in the URL all should have their own canonical URL. We are currently using Yoast for our theme, that state that they do this automatically but it does not seem to work for the Avia Element.

    Question 1: How do I adjust this so that the avia elements are indexed correctly by Google?
    Question 2: Can I change the name of the element to just ‘page’ so instead of blog/?avia-element-paging=2 it could be come /blog/page-2?

    Looking forward to your response!

    Kind regards,
    Joost

    Hey dp-beheer,
    Thanks for your question, the correct pagination url is /?avia-element-paging=2 this can not be changed to /page-2 as it would be a conflict with the WordPress pagination. I don’t see anything on the Pagination Best Practices page to point to a diffidence between /?avia-element-paging=2 and /page-2. Nonetheless, if you would like to request this pagination change, the Dev Team has opened a new Github Feature Request for users to place requests and follow them as the Dev Team reviews them.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,

    Thanks for your reply! Noted that we can’t change the avia-element-paging name! For the SEO best practice, this was regarding this sentence:
    Don’t use the first page of a paginated sequence as the canonical page. Instead, give each page in its own canonical URL.

    The blog on our page has the following slug: /blog/?avia-element-paging=2 but the canonical URL for this is still https://grandia-aankoopmakelaars.nl/blog/. According to Google’s best practice for paging, this should be:
    “Google is very clear now: each page within a paginated series should canonicalize to itself, so /page/2/ has a canonical pointing to /page/2/.”

    We have the Yoast plug-in installed at this moment, but that does not seem to be adding the right canonical url to the pagination page. What could I do for this issue to work?

    Kind regard,
    Joost

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, this can not be changed without causing a conflict with the WordPress pagination.
    I asked the Dev Team again today and they said that this is still true.

    Best regards,
    Mike
