Permalinks...

What's the best option to have this on, to avoid duplicate content?

I currently have the post number #23 and Permalink showing on the postbit.

Any help gratefully received

I use it to replace the post number, since I block individual showpost.php pages from being indexed.

Hi Keith

Should I do the same?

I would. I do the same as Keith.

ty for your reply.

Would I need to do anything in the robots.txt ie block showpost.php ?

Yes, you should add it to robots.txt.

I tried making my setting in my vBSEO admin panel to "Replace post number link with permalink" and it still links to the showpost.php link. Isn't it supposed to do what it does here at vBSEO?

I fixed the above issue by re-writing the showpost url.
