I think this is not working now. I tried this with my blog but seems its not working properly. Please check from your side.

Why is some people worried about having the canonical url on the single page?

If it’s on the single page it’s pointing to itself, so it’s all good.

I didn’t tried this solution because I didn’t know about the canonical metatag. Interesting concept, hope to work. I had this problem with Avarcade script, Google indexed 2 pages with the same content for every page, seo friendly version and the non-seo friendly version.

Really dumb question, sorry. I decided to stop using plugins for WordPress and do the SEO implementations as best I can myself with php, etc.

If I use THIS canonical url fix, will this cause issues with the canonical url’s that WordPress already has built in??

I know that all-in-one-seo plugin overrides WordPresses canonical url fix and then they use their own, correct? So, would I have to disable WordPress’s in the head and then use this head?

Hi,

Excellent post, right to the point. I linked your post from my blog: http://www.web-design-talk.co.uk/164/prevent-duplicate-content-using-the-canonical-url-tag/

Also, it’s worth noting you could use the all in one seo plugin for wordpress, as that generates canocial tags for all your posts.

Thanks

Yeah – you’ll have to do that. If you change themes often, I suggest you go for the plugin.

I like the idea of all of this, and I have no problem copying and pasting the code you provide. If I do a WordPress Upgrade or a Theme version upgrade, will I have to recode this?

Thanks!

Nice. One problem for me though, it does not seem to place the rel=”canonical” link to the home page. Any work-around or is this not a concern?
