Canonical tags/wordpress permalink question

[bonnierSEO]

Need help: Do canonical tags do the exact same thing that wordpress already does with it’s permalink function?  Or are these 2 separate things?  thank you.

No, these are 2 separate things. I installed Yoast, and in the advanced setting you add the canonical tag.

Permalink makes page, into names, and not numbered pages.

Hope it helps.
