Helix Ultimate Canonical Tag Issue

Hello, Where and how can I modify the <head> code that generates the canonical meta tag in Helix Ultimate. The current method is wrong on so many levels!

For example, the correct page via the menu link is:

https://www.kyntronics.com/products/s-series-total-solution-electro-hydraulic-linear-actuation-system

and gives me the correct meta:

<link href="/https://www.kyntronics.com/products/s-series-total-solution-electro-hydraulic-linear-actuation-system" rel="canonical">

Yet I can also access the site via:

https://www.kyntronics.com/index.php?Itemid=834

giving me the canonical of:

<link href="/https://www.kyntronics.com/index.php?Itemid=834" rel="canonical">

It seems wherever the $theme->head(); that is being called in the index.php is simply rendering the browser URL as the canonical! Even others have reported the issue with Helix Ultimate:

https://www.danielmorell.com/blog/how-to-create-joomla-canonical-tags - scroll down to Extension that don't work and it explains the problem.

How and where can I fix this issue?

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused by this oversight. Does it works with the Joomla default Template? Please let me know.

Best regards,

Toufiq, No it does not, something is happening in the $theme->head(); which I need to remove. Which file and where is the canonical tag generated?

I think by default doesn't have this feature. You can try third-party extension.
