hi,
I see rel=”canonical” in the source code of all my blog pages.
But still, people copy my content and replace my rel=”canonical” with their own.
How is that possible and what can I do to prevent it?
In case you’re using the WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin (same author) each article will have two canonical links, which confuses search engines.
With the ‘WordPress SEO by Yoast’ plugin you can also configure the canonical URL.
I’ve used the following sql statements to migrate all settings. Nothing special, but easy to have.
DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key='_yoast_wpseo_canonical'
UPDATE wp_postmeta set meta_key='_yoast_wpseo_canonical' WHERE meta_key='_canonical'Cheers,

I installed WordPress SEO last week. The only problem notices as of yet is as follows:
When I go to Dashboard, choose Post/all Post. All the titles that should be displayed have the letters lined up rather than left to right ( normal reading for American English). The alphanumerical charcters, referred to by me as letters, are lined up one on top of the next.
This makes reading the titles of the post almost impossible to read.
Please don’t scrap this plugin;
Now that the function is gone from the SEO plugin, this plugin is needed again.
Custom Cononical URLs is a very useful and important function for webmasters to have in their toolbox.
Hey guys,
i just encountered a very strange problem with the Canonical URL PLugin. On my frontpage the last post was set as canonical. I couldn’t find something in the search although i think someone else mst have had this problem to.
i fixed it by putting a is_single check into the function.
function yoast_canonical_link() {
global $post;
if(!is_single()) return;
....anybody else had this behaviour? I’m using multisite und the newest canonical url plugin 2.0.1.

One source says
<link rel=”canonical” href=”https://(main content page)” />
You say
Adds rel=”canonical” URL’s of your choice to the <head> of your posts and pages, instead of the default canonical link that was.
I have to add what is bold (Imade it bold for the exemple)
WHat is correct ?
And as well, does it mean I shall add that whenever typing a new post ? or adding a new page ?
As I said, newbie….
Thank you

Quick online tips suggests that the inbuilt wordpress code for canonical url’s should be disabled. Refer to https://www.quickonlinetips.com/archives/2009/04/seo-wordpress-plugin-drops-google-pagerank/.
This post is old (2009) but does this hold true for today as well? Thanks for your help.
