Hi,
How do I fix the "Duplicate without user-selected canonical" Indexing Error On Google Search Console when using WX5? I'd like to know if this can be fixed as Google is finding and(or) creating duplicate pages thereby not allowing the website pages created in WX5 to be indexed.
Any help on this issue from the Incomedia team would be much appreciated and thanks in advance.

You should add a canonical tag 'before the </HEAD> tag' in the custom code 'before the </HEAD> tag' on each page in the properties with the following syntax:
<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.mywebsite.com/page.html" />
This prevents duplicate content.
You have to replace www.mywebsite.com with the real domain. And you have to replace page.html with the respective page name + extension.
You have to make sure that pages that may actually and intentionally have the same or similar content may only have a canonical tag on one page. For example, if you have two pages that have the same content, the canonical tag from both pages can only point to one of the pages.
