[Resolved] Google Search console showing lots of starnage urls.

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user is getting some strange url's in their google analytics console, example ?wpv_view_count=799-TCPID370&wpv_paged=14

Solution:
It seems that the user had setup an old sitemap for their site with these urls and google was scraping through and finding them.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay.

I have a view that has custom search settings and search and pagination ticked but not in use.

Hi Matthew,

This could be why its happening, google is actually scraping all the url's on your site.

Was your view previously active on a page?

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!

I believe it was google archive my sitemap, I deleted the old one and added a new one and then forced a scan of the page with the shop and all seems ok now.
