Disappearing Rel=Canonical Code

[OTSEO]

Hi,

I've been getting a lot of rel=canonical warnings from seomoz. I went into the original pages and pasted in plain text the following code:

link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/blog/my-awesome-blog-post"<

(the > are reversed).

After a few crawls I couldn't see any effect from posting the code. When I went and checked again, it didn't stay in the wysiwyg editor. It disappeared!

We are using Drupal 6. Could someone tell me what code I should be pasting?

Thanks!

Hi, have you verified in the page's source code if the canonical code is showing up, or if you are using any sort of cache system, its wise to clear the cache and check agian.

Hi Ayaz,

That was a great idea to clear the cache. Unfortunately it didn't work.

I'm actually not sure how to verify on the page source code...

Thanks!

You can do that by loading the page in your browser, right click somewhere and view source. or you can provide the link here and i can take a quick look for you.

Hi Ayaz,

How odd! I was able to control F and find the rel=canonical link in the page source. I wonder why it doesn't show up in wysiwyg??

Thanks for that - very, very helpful!

I am glad :}

Hi! Those are actually rel=canonical notices, not warnings. It's a note to let you know that they are there and to make sure everything looks OK, not that there's something wrong.

Hi Keri,

Thanks for the message! We are getting double content warnings so I thought that the absence of a rel=canonical script was causing the double content warning. Appreciate the confirmation - that saved a TON of time.

Cheers!
