I'm having problems redirecting several cases of amp to the canonical non-amp urls. Over the years, I tried different AMP plugins. Namely the official WordPress AMP, AMPforWP, and AMP NINJA.
It's been around 4 years since I used AMP, and all the plugins have been deleted.
When I started seeing a number of pages reported as "Excluded by ‘noindex’ tag" in Google Console I set up some regex directs from the AMP versions to the canonical using the "Redirection" plugin.
Errors I was seeing reported as "Excluded by ‘noindex’ in GSC included:
/my-post/amp /my-post/amp/ /my-post/?wpamp /my-post/amp/?wpamp /tag/my-tag/page/8/?wpamp /cat/my-cat/page/8/?wpamp /tag/my-tag/page/8/amp /cat/my-cat/page/8/amp /tag/my-tag/page/8/amp/ /cat/my-cat/page/8/amp/ ?nonamp=1 ?amp=
The redirects I currently have in place in the "Redirection" plugin are: ^/(.)/?wpamp target= mywebsite.com/$1 ^/(.)/amp (recently edited from "^/(.*)/\amp") target= mywebsite.com/$1
I recently disabled: ^/(.?)/?nonamp=. target= mywebsite.com/$1 ^/(.?)/?amp=. target= mywebsite.com/$1
When I view the log of the last few day in the Redirection plugin I see instances as follows:
/tag/my-tag/?wpamp redirects to mywebsite.com/my-tagtag /my-post/?wpamp redirects to mywebsite.com/my-post /category/my-category/amp/ redirects to mywebsite.com/category/my-category/ /my-post/amp redirects to mywebsite.com/my-post /my-post/amp/ redirects to mywebsite.com/my-post/ /my-post/amp/?wpamp redirects to mywebsite.com/my-post/amp
I can only guess the regex strings are wrong or incomplete, maybe clashing with each other.
Can anyone help?
