 * Hi, I add every post on my website to a category. every URL looks like that: 
   [https://teesvg.com/downloads/teach-love-inspire-svg-red-for-ed/](https://teesvg.com/downloads/teach-love-inspire-svg-red-for-ed/)
   
   and every category looks like that:[https://teesvg.com/downloads/category/teacher-svg/](https://teesvg.com/downloads/category/teacher-svg/)
   when I search my keyword on google, every time I get the 2 results: the post 
   and the category so it’s duplicate content.I want to ask how to avoid duplicate
   content in my case, it’s important for me to add every post to at least one category.
   I do SEO for every post and for every category.
 * My second question is how to do if I want to add a post to two categories and
   avoid duplicate content in my case?. I can’t use canonical URL because I always
   have unique URL for my posts like that:
   [https://abcd.com/downloads/abcd](https://abcd.com/downloads/abcd)
   [https://abcd.com/downloads/efgh&#8230](https://abcd.com/downloads/efgh&#8230);
   and not like that:[https://abcd.com/category1/abcd](https://abcd.com/category1/abcd)
   [https://abcd.com/category2/abcd](https://abcd.com/category2/abcd)thanks

 * set “follow, noindex” for categories. SEO plugin can do that for you
