The GD Archive item page is the page used as a template for the archive cards.

It should be set as noindex by default, so google should ignore that page, but that looks like it’s no longer the case and I’m following up with the devs.
We’ll update here once this is fixed.

Ok, but how googlebot found and followed this? Could be an issue of … sitemap.xml maybe?

As said, I remember there was something in place so that these pages couldn’t be indexed by Google, but either I’m missing it or it is no longer there. I asked the developers about it and they’ll let us know when they’ll come back online tomorrow.

These are template pages, if you are logged out you will notice they redirect to home, if you are admin they don;t redirect so that you can use a page builder to edit them.
It might be a sitemap issue, are you using a SEO plugin, if so please let us konw what one and we will double check.

Correct, if logged out, i’m redirected to the home page.
I’m using SEO FRAMEWORK plugin and those pages ARE in the xml file.
Thanks
