Hi,
Using Infinite SEO, I'm trying to remove duplicate Page Titles and content for this BuddyPress site.
There are always two such pages with duplicate title and content:
.../members/username
and
.../members/username/profile
I seem have no ability to change the content or title information on these pages to make them different. Can Infinite SEO help me do this? Currently Infinite SEO does not differentiate between the two either. Can I somehow tell BP to not generate both pages?

Greetings Larry,
Thank you for these great questions and pointing out this significant issue!

I do not think there is any way to do this except possibly blocking the path to one of the URL's or excluding a URL.

I am not sure if it is possible to do it after looking at the settings again.
However, you may indeed keep the search engines from spidering those unwanted URL's by using the robots.txt file:
#
# Rename this file robots.txt to prevent search engines to
# index your wordpress folders.
#
# If your site is in a subfolder, edit the file as necessary,
# i.e. /wp-content/ becomes /subfolder/wp-content/, etc. and
# place the file in the domain's root folder.
#
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-content/cache/
Disallow: /wp-content/themes/
Disallow: /wp-content/plugins/
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /wp-includes/
Disallow: /wp-login.php
Disallow: /wp-register.php
Disallow: /images/
Disallow: /imaging/
Disallow: /members/username/profile/
