Please remove line of code on template that creates canonical tags

Asked by Hector 5 years ago Last activity 5 years ago

Hello friends,

Recently I ran into some difficulties with my SEO because there was a duplicate title and meta description on my homepage.

I have now fixed it, but I discovered in the process that the JoomShaper template creates a canonical tag, right from the index.php file.

The template should not create a canonical because a template has no way to know what URL is the proper canonical for a page.

I have removed the offending line of code (line 108) and the issue was solved.

I am only writing to ask you not to include this line in your templates, nor in any future updates.

For further information, please refer to this archived discussion page:

Many thanks,
Hector
