Video and Course Pages Indexed as Duplicates (Search Console issue)

Hey everyone πŸ‘‹

I’ve recently noticed an indexing issue in Google Search Console affecting some of our course and lesson URLs in FluentCommunity portals - specifically those generated by /portal/course/.../lessons and their /feed or /feed/feed variants.

For example, I’m seeing entries like these:

https://enbuscadelfuego.com/portal/course/curso-active-campaign/lessons
https://enbuscadelfuego.com/portal/course/curso-active-campaign/lessons?tva_skin_id=1586
https://enbuscadelfuego.com/portal/course/curso-active-campaign/lessons?tva_skin_id=1586/feed/
https://enbuscadelfuego.com/portal/course/curso-active-campaign/lessons?tva_skin_id=1586/feed/feed/

Search Console flags them as duplicate pages or β€œalternate pages with proper canonical tag,” but sometimes also shows β€œpage with redirect” or β€œduplicate without user-selected canonical.”

This seems related to:

  • Dynamic parameters like ?tva_skin_id=1586 being appended.
  • Possible canonical misconfiguration or missing canonical on /feed URLs.

Has anyone else experienced this with FluentCommunity courses?
Any known workaround or filter hook to control canonical tags or exclude /feed and ?tva_skin_id= variants from indexing?

Thanks in advance!

Note: By the way - could this duplication issue be related to having Thrive Apprentice still installed (I’ll be removing it soon)?

I’ve noticed that all the affected URLs include the parameter ?tva_skin_id=1586, which I believe comes from Apprentice skins rather than FluentCommunity.

Has anyone else seen this happen when migrating courses from Thrive Apprentice to FluentCommunity?
