"On Page" report says 2 rel canonical urls-how do I fix that?

[ccare723]

I am reviewing my On Page scores and I'm not getting a perfect score bk of this notice:

No More Than One Canonical URL Tag

Moderate fix

<dl>

<dt>Number of Canonical tags</dt>

<dd>2</dd>

<dt>Explanation</dt>

<dd>The canonical URL tag is meant to be employed only a single time on an individual URL (much like the title element or meta description). To ensure the search engines properly parse the canonical source, employ only a single version of this tag.</dd>

<dt>Recommendation</dt>

<dd>Remove all but a single canonical URL tag</dd>

<dd>HOW do I fix that?</dd>

<dd>I am using Platinum seo plugin which I have checked "Use canonical urls" and the page in question is</dd>

Hi,

Your problem is very easy to solve. When I look in to your source of your page. I can see those 2 canonical urls.

The first one is on line number 13 and the second one is on line number 19 (See attached image)

For you, I think the easiest one to remove is the 1st link, That means find the code to generate the 1st canonical url to generate on line number 13 and simply remove that code or change the code as suitably.

It will solve your issue.

Thank you both! So wordpress is generating one and platinum seo is too. I'm going to try this entry into the themes' function.php:

# Remove WordPress' canonical links remove_action('wp_head', 'rel_canonical');

Fingers crossed...!
