Freetag plugin - strange URLs
Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2016 10:59 am
I've noticed sometimes I get visitors from a Google search who land on a long, convoluted URL like It should simply be
The extra words between the //s are the names of various posts, and you'll note some are even repeated a few times within the URL.
I'm not sure but I believe this issue has to do with the Freetag plugin, as I only get the strange URLs with the /tag prefix. It's not the end of the world as they still land on the right page (though I'd prefer they land on the post, but Google seems to generally favour the tag pages instead), but I would prefer if people weren't getting such ridiculously long addresses. Any fix?
