* wordpress allow website to have multiple tags in the url, for example,
* `website.com/tag1,tag2/page/10`
* but the canonical only display the first tag1, for example,
* `website.com/tag1/page/10`
* Since multiple tags in the URL will have more pages, so if tag1 doesn’t have
10 pages, this lead 404 error in google web console.

* Hi Puecon,
* Do you perhaps have “noindex subpages of archives” enabled?

* No.
* Let me give another example of the problem.
* If you go to [https://yoast.com/cat/analytics,seo/page/41/](https://yoast.com/cat/analytics,seo/page/41/),
this link contain the posts of all post that have analytics and/or seo as the
category.
* If you view the source, it’ll display the canonical as,
* ``
* which is wrong, because that page doesn’t exist, which lead to an 404 crawler
error in google webmaster console.
* The correct should be:
* ``
* The same error is prevalent in multiple tags.
