    Hello @ctw12,

    Thank you for reporting this bug! It has to do with qTranslateX and The SEO Framework’s misinterpretation of such environment.

    Having translations through sub-directories instead of sub-domains is not according to SEO best practices, and therefore my eye hasn’t caught it (yet).

    I’ve marked this as a bug on GitHub, issue #43.

    I’ll have you notified as soon as I have a patch.

    In the meantime, to prevent hurting your rankings in Google, I advice turning off the canonical URL. This can be done by adding the following snippet to your theme’s functions.php file:

    add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_rel_canonical_output', '__return_empty_string' );

    I’ll keep you posted on the progression. Cheers! ??

    Hi @ctw12,

    The issue should be resolved with TSF 2.8.0 ?? Enjoy!

    You can remove the filter I’ve suggested earlier, if implemented.
