#288428 URL paignation on last Woodmart update About Information

Hello,

We have communicated the ongoing pagination and related SEO issues in a private section to prevent our website’s URL from being publicly visible. Please ensure to provide support for such matters in the same manner.

The feature to list more products by using “load more” on category pages is available. In the theme settings, the canonical URLs for page2, page3, etc., can be removed from the URL structure. However, the canonical structure is not completely eliminated, and when clicking on URLs like page2, they are still accessible. How can we solve the issue of crawling budget and SEO duplicate problems by completely removing these canonical URLs in WooCommerce?

In summary: What is the way to completely remove the pagination structure on category pages and eliminate the page2, page3 URLs?

Chat gpt provides many codes to disable pagination on category pages, but this one “load more save” button does not work. Can you help me with this?

Sample Code1:
// Block Access to Page2, Page3 URLs
add_action(‘template_redirect’, ‘block_pagination_urls’);
function block_pagination_urls() {
if ( is_shop() || is_product_category() ) {
// WooCommerce’de page2, page3 gibi URL’leri kontrol et
if ( get_query_var(‘paged’) > 1 ) {
wp_redirect( get_permalink( wc_get_page_id( ‘shop’ ) ), 301 );
exit;
}
}
}

Sample Code2:
// Block /page 2, /page 3 URLs in WooCommerce
add_action(‘template_redirect’, ‘disable_pagination_urls_compatible_with_loadmore’);
function disable_pagination_urls_compatible_with_loadmore() {
if ( is_shop() || is_product_category() ) {
// AJAX yükleme işlemlerini kontrol et
if ( isset($_GET[‘load_more’]) || defined(‘DOING_AJAX’) && DOING_AJAX ) {
return; // Continue “Load More” operations without affecting them
}
// Check normal pagination
if ( get_query_var(‘paged’) > 1 ) {
wp_redirect( get_permalink( wc_get_page_id( ‘shop’ ) ), 301 );
exit;
}
}
}
