Hello,

I have this problem.

My photo URL is:

domain.com/album1/photo1/

But sometime Google indexed my URL like this: domain.com/photos/28147/

How to resolve this problem?

Thanks.

Here is example:

https://www.google.com/search?q=lamborghini+urus+wallpaper&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&sout=1

(My site: carscreen.org).

Google indexed: carscreen.org/photos/28088/

But if you click on this link will redirected to: carscreen.org/lamborghini/urus/Lamborghini_Urus_Wallpaper/

Any idea to resolve this problem please!

Thanks.

You'll want to edit the robots.txt file and add:

Disallow: /photos/
Disallow: /movies/

To the existing list of directories that are there so that bots don't index those URLs. Basically, any URL or link that your gallery has in it that you don't want indexed, be sure to add it. I've also Disallowed /tag/, /rss/ and several others.

Problem I can't understand is why after re-write URL, its carscreen.org/lamborghini/urus/Lamborghini_Urus_Wallpaper/

But Google Indexed: carscreen.org/photos/28088/

(You will never see this on your browser: carscreen.org/photos/28088/)

It probably got those links via the RSS Feed which is using links like carscreen.org/photos/28079/ within it.

I changed line 26 and 27 of /modules/rss/views/feed.mrss.php from

<link><?= url::abs_site("{$item->type}s/{$item->id}") ?></link>
<guid isPermaLink="true"><?= url::abs_site("{$item->type}s/{$item->id}") ?></guid>

To:

<link><?= url::abs_site("{$item->relative_url_cache}") ?></link>
<guid isPermaLink="false"><?= url::abs_site("{$item->type}s/{$item->id}") ?></guid>

I used the same format that my blog was using for its feed.

Hope that helps,
