      Our company has a paid subscription-based site that only allows us to add HTML in the WYSIWYG section, not in the backend of each individual page. Because we are an e-commerce site, we have many duplicate page issues. Is there a way for us to add or hide the canonical code in the WYSIWYG section instead of us having to make all of our pages significantly different?

        Hi,

        Do you have an example you can share of your problem? You can PM me this if you wish?

        Is what you are saying that the canonical element is actually being seen on the live pages and therefore not working?

        -Andy

          Canonical tags must go in the header of a page's code, Expo.  If you put it in the page body (as would be the case with the wysiwyg editor) it will simply be ignored.
