Duplicate Without User-Selected Canonical” in Google Search Console – Fixing & Troubleshooting Service
The “Duplicate, without user-selected canonical” status in Google Search Console indicates that Google has found multiple versions of a page on your site and chosen one to index, but not necessarily the one you prefer. While this is not always an error, it can lead to SEO problems, ranking drops, or duplicate content issues if the wrong page is indexed.
Common causes include duplicate URLs with query strings, HTTP/HTTPS or www/non-www conflicts, trailing slash variations, pagination issues, or missing canonical tags. In some cases, plugins, themes, or incorrect sitemap entries cause Google to misinterpret which version should be indexed.
At WooHelpDesk, we specialize in resolving canonicalization problems. For a flat $79, we audit, configure, and troubleshoot your WordPress/WooCommerce setup to ensure the correct pages are indexed by Google.
