 * Hi, I recently submitted a patch for this and it’s been committed to trunk so
   should appear shortly – no more need to hack the core 🙂

 * No probs. I would just keep an eye on those sub-gallery pages eg 2/3/4 and check
   when they are being hit by Googlebot (if ever?). Then use your Google Webmaster
   tools to evaluate any other issue there might be…

 * I think I’ll leave it as this for just now as this thread is heading towards 
   general SEO, not just ‘issues’ with NextGEN Gallery…
 * **[@remotay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/remotay/)** – you may want to
   include the other gallery pages in your site map:
 * mmohut.com/review/pangya?nggpage=2 / 3 / 4
 * Have you checked Google bot has actually spidered all these pages?

 * **[@remotay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/remotay/)** – a link to the 
   site in question might help 😉
 * Have you checked Google bot has actually spidered all these pages?
 * You also realise that Google won’t index everything – just what it feels is useful.

 * The order in which you write image attributes has no affect/makes no difference.

 * I think you need to document this a little more – making users aware of the effects
   the canonical tag _could_ have on Google’s index.
 * Using the default settings, I created 10 Galleries all with completely different
   images. After viewing each page source I can see that Google was being told to
   index them all at the same URL my-site.com/gallery/
 * – not cool 🙁

 * To clarify this post by Alex [re: canonical feature](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/177830/page/2?replies=50#post-1021200).
 * The canonical meta tag is meant for pages with vastly **similar** content that
   can be reached via **different **URLs. You specify your preferred URL to help
   reduced duplicate content.
 * **Here’s the issue/bug:**
 * I’m using WP 2.7.1 / NGG 1.2.1 and have set up an Album on a Page with several
   Galleries and turned ON canonical links via AIO SE.
 * First access is via page: /gallery/
 * My galleries are displayed with links to them eg:
 * /nggallery/page-15/album-1/gallery-2/
    /nggallery/page-15/album-1/gallery-7/
 * The problem is each of those pages is given the same canonical meta tag which
   is /gallery/. This is not correct as the pages are showing **different** content
   and should be indexed as such.
 * I’ve only quickly flicked through the plugin code, but it probably relates to/
   lib/rewrite.php #215 and the call to get_permalink().
 * …yes, I have noticed that the comments in that file show the rewrite coding is
   needing some attention to clean-up the URLs to fit a more SEO naming convention.
