Canonical showing dev url

    Hello,

    I migrated a site to a new server, before changing the dns accross, I updated everything including Yoast.

    However, the canonical is set to the dev demo url now that the dns has been moved.

    I have tried deleting and reinstalling Yoast, going to permalinks and hitting save.

    Many thanks for any help

    Hi,

    just to let you know if you check the site, I have turned Yoast off as I’m concerned about having the wrong canonical for too long.

    I found a plugin that might be able to hard code the canonical, do you think it will still work, the post is 6 yrs ago.

    Hi,

    I’ve turned Yoast back on if anyone could take a look please I’d be so grateful.

    These are the options I can think of:

    Do a find and replace in the database.
    Try hard coding the canonical with the plugin link in the last post.
    In Admin – Permalinks, my structure is “post name”. Switch it to custom /%postname%/ hopefully Yoast will notice the whole correct url when this is done

    Many thanks

    @dov777 Can you please try the following steps to resolve the issue?:

      1. Install & activate the?Yoast Test Helper plugin
      2. Go to Tools -> Yoast Test
      3. Hit the “Reset indexables & migrations” button
      4. Click the “Click here to speed up your site now” button.

    Does this resolve the problem? We look forward to hearing from you.
