Hello Manish,

EasyDiscuss will actually add a canonical tag on the page to ensure that despite having several links that are linking to the same page, the correct one is used. However, I did noticed that there are 2 canonical tags on your site when I view the source of the page. Do you use any 3rd party extension to generate canonical tags?

Yes, I do see the rel="canonical" but they all have it on each page pointing to the same URL instead of the original URL. I don't have anything else managing my canonical tags. I posted my site details on my original post, please login to check.

Hello! I have the same problem. Also shows 2 tag rel="canonical"

<link href="http://takeprofit.pro/forum/portfel-avtora-proekta-takeprofit.html" rel="canonical" />

<link href="http://takeprofit.pro/forum/categories/portfel/portfel-avtora-proekta-takeprofit.html" rel="canonical" />

EasyDiscuss 3.2.9519
Joomla 3.3.3

Hello Pavel,

Which extension are you using to generate these canonical tags? Is it possible for you to provide us with the back end and FTP access to your site to check on this issue?

Can you please provide us with the back end and FTP access to investigate this?

I have no third-party extensions for SEF. Using the default Joomla SEF

Here are the site details again.

Hello Manish,

Just tried the back end and FTP and they both do not work. Please advise.

it works fine. Please check again I resubmitted it.

looks great thanks!

I also have this problem on the pagination for both my blog and the discussions.

http://wmpos.com/news/industry-news.html
http://wmpos.com/news/industry-news.html?start=3
http://wmpos.com/changelogs
http://wmpos.com/changelogs.html?start=3

That's how you had to do?

                $parsed = $router->parse($uri);

		$fakelink = 'index.php?' . http_build_query($parsed);

		$link = $domain . JRoute::_($fakelink, false);



		if ($uri !== $link)

		if (JRequest::getVar('option') == 'com_easydiscuss') {

			return;

		}

	}

Now it works rel="canonical" only in the discussion. And on the other pages of the site does not work.

Hello Pavel,

The hack that I have added will only prevent the plugin from adding it's own canonical tag on EasyDiscuss pages. It does not affect anything else. Anyway I am really confused here. Could you please start your own thread if you are still having issues?

Hi Mark,

Do you want me to make a new thread as well? I also have the same canonical problem on the pagination for both my blog and the discussions.

Hello Manish,

Sorry I was referring to Pavel because you both don't have a profile picture and it was a little confusing when I was glancing through. I have added the codes below in Joomla's sef plugin file,

		if (JRequest::getVar('option') == 'com_easydiscuss') {

			return;

		}

The canonical tag should appear fine now for EasyBlog

Works great! thanks very much

You are most welcome

Hi Mark,

I have the same problem on that pagination on the tags. They don't even show a rel="canonical" url. Please advise.

Hello Manish,

Please replace the attached file in ../components/com_easyblog/views/tags/view.html.php. Hope this helps.

Is this a general bug so it is may interesting for all to upload this view.html.php?

Thanks Nick, it works great. I'm waiting for my next crawl to see the results.

You are most welcome Manish

Manuel,

Yes, you can fix it by temporary uploading the file to the tags view to fix the canonical tag.
