      If you guys are both seeing it, I'm really confused. When I look at my source code, I see this:

        Yes, I do. I'm been clearing the cache.

          What's strange is when I view the source on that page, I don't see it:

            I see the same as you for that post, but I still see the canoncial on posts like this:

            noahsdad.com/big-tex/

            This is why I'm thinking you might have fixed it, and we're just seeing an old static version of the page. Re-caching the pages and/or updating posts might fix it up.

              @Carson,

              This is so odd. When I look at the page, I see this. Am I seeing something different than what you are seeing?

                We are definitely not seeing the same thing. Are you perchance using a content delivery network? It might just take some time to update if so.

                I suggest we both keep an eye on it and make sure that it's fixed for both of us going forward 🙂

                  Nope, no content delivery network. This is crazy.  No idea what's happening.

                      I'm seeing the bad canonical tag gone now. Are you seeing the same thing? Maybe just had a short-term caching issue.

                        Yeah, looks like I was of no use at all 🙂 I'm glad it's working.

                          Peter, I just discovered I have tons of duplicate content & titles. How can I fix them? It is hurting.

                            I'm afraid there's no one, easy answer. I have a comprehensive post about dupe content here:

                              That was great content sir ! i added the comments there - adding the same question here also !

                              This article is very huge and will print it for better understanding !

                              My problem with the blog is the Duplicate content is marked as for Search Terms or Tags ! like i have written 10 post about design art, i added tags as "design art" in the tag form. using WordPress.org self hosted website !
