 * Hello. WordPress has endless link problems for many years. Note: **This problem
   happens when we paged comment** example:
 * [https://automattic.design/2020/05/22/web-design-inspiration/comment-page-3/](https://automattic.design/2020/05/22/web-design-inspiration/comment-page-3/)
   
   [https://automattic.design/2020/05/22/web-design-inspiration/comment-page-3986/](https://automattic.design/2020/05/22/web-design-inspiration/comment-page-3986/)
   [https://automattic.design/2020/05/22/web-design-inspiration/comment-page-5999/](https://automattic.design/2020/05/22/web-design-inspiration/comment-page-5999/)
   [https://automattic.design/2020/05/22/web-design-inspiration/comment-page-6786/](https://automattic.design/2020/05/22/web-design-inspiration/comment-page-6786/)
 * Attention! There are no comments on these pages. But the links are entering the
   article. This is the problem for google search console.
 * If there is no comment, that link should not work. How can I fix this? thanks

 * Hi [@devrekli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devrekli/)
 * The website is on WordPress.COM, please post this question here in WordPress.
   COM forum: [https://wordpress.com/forums/](https://wordpress.com/forums/) 🙂

 * Maybe if you brought up the real issue with your own website, with examples from
   your own website, rather than referencing someone else’s independent website (
   which has nothing to do with the WordPress software project)… we could help you
   out.
 * As it is now, we really can’t speculate on what’s happening on someone’s independent
   site that we don’t control or manage.
 * Good luck!

 * Hi [@devrekli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devrekli/),
 * Previously before replying, I have tested on the post of two websites:
 * [https://www.codeinwp.com/blog/best-javascript-animation-libraries/comment-page-5754/](https://www.codeinwp.com/blog/best-javascript-animation-libraries/comment-page-5754/)
   
   [https://winningwp.com/mailpoet-review/comment-page-5754/](https://winningwp.com/mailpoet-review/comment-page-5754/)
 * Again now I have tested on another two websites:
 * [https://www.wpcrafter.com/manage-multiple-wordpress-sites-in-one-dashboard/comment-page-5754/](https://www.wpcrafter.com/manage-multiple-wordpress-sites-in-one-dashboard/comment-page-5754/)
   
   [https://www.smartpassiveincome.com/predictable-marketing-funnel-facebook-ads/comment-page-5754/](https://www.smartpassiveincome.com/predictable-marketing-funnel-facebook-ads/comment-page-5754/)
 * I have found all links are redirecting to their original post properly.
 * Like:
 * [https://www.websitename.com/post-name/comment-page-5754/](https://www.websitename.com/post-name/comment-page-5754/)
 * automatically redirecting to
 * [https://www.websitename.com/post-name/](https://www.websitename.com/post-name/)
 * That’s why I thought this problem maybe only with WordPress.COM websites.
 * Your provided links have also a point, because they are not redirecting as of
   mine.

 * I looked at the examples you said but **If we do not paginate, this is no problem.**
 * This problem happens in paginations..
 * If the setting is like this. screen shot: [https://prnt.sc/smhi90](https://prnt.sc/smhi90)
 * You see this problem in my examples?
 * thanks

 * My examples and your examples are completely different also have a strong point.
 * Sorry, I have never noticed a problem like this.
 * We both should wait for a positive reply. 🙂

 * Having infinite links is wrong for me. I have never seen anything like it in 
   another script before. And This is the problem for google search console.
 * There are no comments on those pages. Those links shouldn’t be.
 * **How can I redirect these bad links to 404 page?** thanks.

 * Yui made a suggestion you may want to consider, since it is the simpler option.
   
   Have a look at this 🙂 [https://yoast.com/rel-canonical/](https://yoast.com/rel-canonical/)
   Basically you are telling search engines where the original content lives, which
   should help you avoid duplicate content issues.

 * I have already done this. Unfortunately this is not a solution to this problem.

 * rel-canonical is now used by everyone. but this is not the solution. google sees
   it as “alternative page” and crawls them.
 * There are also bad links for pages with no comments. Google crawls these links
   but there are no comments on those pages. (comment-page-2383 like this)
 * we should redirect these bad links to 404 page, but how? thanks
