Rel=”Canonical” tag showing http version instead of https

Hello Husnain… i entered here today to make the same question. I hope their support can reply and give as some answers in order to resolve this problem.

Good day!

@husnainabbas We checked on your site and confirmed that the Yoast SEO plugin is outputting the canonical as https, see here: https://pasteboard.co/IgXTlco.png

Also, please note that whether a site uses http/https or www/non-www is not controlled in the Yoast SEO plugin. This is controlled in WordPress by the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) values which are located in Settings>General. You would need to make sure that both of these are set to use HTTPS. If you are not seeing the site automatically use HTTPS in the URL after confirming these settings we would recommend checking with your host for more information on how to force all requests to the site to use HTTPS, as this can sometimes vary depending on the server configuration and hosting provider.

Also, after updating your site to use HTTPS you may also need to take several steps to get your site correct with Google:

1. Please claim and verify your https in Google. This guide explains more: https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/176793?hl=en.
2. Resubmit your sitemaps under the new https version. This guide explains more: https://support.google.com/sites/answer/100283?hl=en.
3. Delete your sitemaps under your http version.
4. Make sure you connect your SEO->Search Console to the right site. This guide explains more: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-connect-and-retrieve-crawl-issues/.
