search console complains about canonical

WPSSO gets the default canonical URL value from WordPress. It sounds like your site structure might be conflicting with the WordPress rewrite rules. What are your WordPress settings for:

Settings > General > WordPress Address (URL)

Settings > General > Site Address (URL)

Settings > Reading > Your homepage displays

js.

Since you can also override the default home URL value, please also provide the value for:

SSO > General Settings > Site Information (tab) > Site Home URL

js.

FYI, if you can’t fix your site structure or permalink rewrites, then you could edit the https://animassiettes.com/blog/c/aimants/ category, and in the Document SSO metabox > Edit Visibility tab > Canonical URL option, change the default canonical URL value.

Thank you for your quick reply. I cannot fix this in the category’s Document SSO because I use the category for other (custom) post types as well. I guess I have been too smart ?? when I defined the permalink rewrite rules. But it’s too late to change them now. (Anyway, I have too many categories to fix them all by hand.) So unless there is a filter that I can use to tweak (or suppress?) the canonical URL, I will just live with the complaints from Google Search Console.

You could hook the wpsso_canonical_url(?$url, $mod, $add_page?) filter.

See here https://wpsso.com/docs/plugins/wpsso/notes/developer/the-mod-variable/ for info on the $mod array, which can be very useful. ??
