 * Hi.,
    My [blog’s](http://www.designrazor.net) navigation menu contains a parent
   page **Web Development** and its subcategories html,css3,jquery etc.. And Google
   webmaster tools is showing duplicate title and meta desciption for some posts
   as the post is displayed both in parent page and category page.
 * My permalink structures is
    **[http://www.designrazor.net/%category%/%postname%](http://www.designrazor.net/%category%/%postname%)**
 * I found that I can access the same post with two slugs,
    [http://www.designrazor/web-development/post-name](http://www.designrazor/web-development/post-name)
   [http://www.designrazor/css3/post-name](http://www.designrazor/css3/post-name)
 * a screenshot of the duplicate content warning is here – [image](http://www.designrazor.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/img.png)
 * I dont know how to remove the duplicate content and hope someone will help me.

 * If you have two urls leading to the same content, you could use your Yoast SEO
   plugin to specify a canonical url. This is the url by which you would like the
   content to be indexed. If both urls lead eventually to the same canonical url,
   that should fix the issue. I think the default is that the canonical url field
   is blank and in the page markup it defaults to the actual url, which in this 
   case you don’t want. Anyway, that’s my understanding but too big a job for me
   to test if this is correct.
