Duplicate Title Tags

[xTreme]

Hello

Can any tell me how to prevent duplicate title tags and duplicate meta description ?

I can see around 6k+ Duplicate Title tags and Description in Google Webmaster- HTML suggestion.

I thought of adding topic[id] to <meta name="og:title"> but its not working

In the template Global Templates > globalTemplate

find:

<title>{$header_items['title']}

Change to:

<title>{$header_items['title']} {$this->request['showtopic']}

find:

<meta property="og:title" content="{IPSText::htmlspecialchars( str_replace( ' - ' . $this->settings['board_name'], '', $header_items['title'] ) )}"/>

Change to:

<meta property="og:title" content="{IPSText::htmlspecialchars( str_replace( ' - ' . $this->settings['board_name'], '', $header_items['title'].' '.$this->request['showtopic']  ) )}"/>

Adds a space then topic id after title and meta tag title but it will only show up in topics as that is the only time that variable exists.
