Duplicate pages

[iKsu]

Hello,
Hope you are doing well!

I have such problem. When I create in Content Manager a new content page, CMS immediately creates many duplicate pages.
For example, when I create a page kursovaia-rabota-v-dnepre (this is a child), then more duplicates of these pages are automatically created:

https://astra-net.com.ua/ru/goroda/kupit-rabotu-v-dneprе/kursovaia-rabota-v-dnepre.html - this is the main page that Google should indexed it
https://astra-net.com.ua/ru/goroda/kursovaia-rabota-v-dnepre.html - these are duplicates
https://astra-net.com.ua/ru/kupit-rabotu-v-dneprе/kursovaia-rabota-v-dnepre.html - these are duplicates
https://astra-net.com.ua/ru/kursovaia-rabota-v-dnepre.html - these are duplicates
https://astra-net.com.ua/goroda/kupit-rabotu-v-dneprе/kursovaia-rabota-v-dnepre.html - these are duplicates
https://astra-net.com.ua/goroda/kursovaia-rabota-v-dnepre.html - these are duplicates
https://astra-net.com.ua/kupit-rabotu-v-dneprе/kursovaia-rabota-v-dnepre.html - these are duplicates
https://astra-net.com.ua/kursovaia-rabota-v-dnepre.html - these are duplicates


Tell me please, can I somehow turn it off in CMS? Is it possible to configure that only one page is created, without duplicates?

I know about the redirect 301, but I would not want to do extra work if it can be disabled initially when creating a new page.
Thank you very much for your answer

CMSMS just looks at the last part of the URL after the final / when deciding what content to show. In this case kursovaia-rabota-v-dnepre.html.

So you can put any path in e.g. https://astra-net.com.ua/anythinghere/anything/kursovaia-rabota-v-dnepre.html and CMSMS will show the correct page. That is why it is important to help search engines know the correct URL using Rolf's guidance.
