Hi -
I am using native URL Structure

For Instance - index.php?option=com_easydiscuss&view=post&id=14127&Itemid=78

In Easydiscuss 3 - the canonical url is showing correctly
index.php?option=com_easydiscuss&view=post&id=14127&Itemid=78

However - in Easydiscuss 4 - the canonical url is showing incorrectly
Pl see attached Picture


There are two amp; which are coming in
How to resolve it

To Regenerate the issue
You may turn seo friendly url as off and check it
or Site Credentials attached - may check


Edit
I have checked easyblog and there canonical url showing correctly
The issue is only in Easydiscuss, you can regenrate the issue by turning off seo friendly url and check canonical url in it
Hi there,

As what i found out, you still can access your post discussion right? As you can see mine URL still redirect correctly and without no "&" as shown http://prntscr.com/cklpjo

That is because of "PHP htmlspecialchars_decode() Function" as you can see here http://www.w3schools.com/php/func_string_htmlspecialchars_decode.asp and http://www.w3schools.com/php/func_string_htmlspecialchars.asp

Hope this helps.

Hello

No it doesnt help
The canonical url is correct in easyblog and also in easydiscuss 3

However - its incorrect in discuss 4

You need to correct the router for removing the extra &amp as shown in url in canonical
Attaching original page and canonical page

Let know the solution - as this seems to be one among last bugs as am been on hold before moving to discuss 4 and joomla last version (unless i found something new)

Hi there,

Sorry for the confusion earlier. Thanks for the information .

We have made temporary fixes on this file ...\components\com_easydiscuss\views\post\view.html.php .
Can you replace attached file at path above, give it a try and see how it goes.

We will include this on our next release version.
