[Rank Math SEO Plugin] canonical URL for every page with RM

[eersahin1899]

how can we do that? there is no option for this in General Settings; but in SEO Analysis screen there is a warning that says: "No canonical link tag found on your page." and in the How to fix section on the right says: "The Rank Math WordPress plugin makes it very easy to set the canonical URL for every page of your site." so, how can I do that?

Hello,

I have accessed your site through FTP and made a small change in the plugin code so that the SEO Analysis module can now correctly detect the canonical link present on your pages.

Hope that helps. If there's anything else, please let us know. Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting MyThemeShop and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

This warning shows up when Canonical tags are not present on some pages of your site. Please check again if all pages on your site has canonical tag. By default Rank Math uses Post/Term URL as canonical URL. You will find an option to add/change Canonical URL in Advanced tab in Edit Post Screen: 

If Canonical tags are not present on some pages than its possible that it could be a theme or plugin conflict.

To help you faster, we would like you to perform a quick conflict check on your website using the instructions below. You can follow these instructions on your live website as well, as running this conflict check does not affect your website visitors.

Here are the steps for you to follow.

1. Log into your WordPress Administrator, and navigate to the dashboard
2. Navigate to 'Plugins', and go to 'add new'
   
3. On the next page, enter 'Health Check' in the search bar and wait for the screen to refresh
   
4. The official Health Check plugin by WordPress.org should be visible as the first result. Please install and activate the plugin
   
5. You will reach the plugin page automatically, and a notice will appear. Click 'I understand' to continue
   
6. On the WordPress Menu on the left, hover over the dashboard. You will notice a new 'Health Check' option, click on it
   
7. On the page that appears, there will be several tabs. Please navigate to the 'Troubleshooting' tab
   
8. Press the 'Enable Troubleshooting Mode' to start the troubleshooter
   

Once you complete these steps, you are in troubleshooting mode. All the plugins on your website have been disabled only for you. Your theme has also been disabled, but only for you.

To diagnose the root-cause of your problem, you would enable each plugin one by one until an issue is found. The last plugin that causes the issue will probably the cause of the conflict. Here are the steps in more detail.

1. With all plugins and the theme disabled, try reproducing the issue.
   1. If you still have the issue, your WordPress setup is the root of the problem.
   2. If not, then continue.
2. On the top bar, navigate to the 'Troubleshooting Mode', hover over it, and enable the MyThemeShop plugin in question. After that, try to reproduce the issue.
   1. If you have the issue, the plugin is conflicting with WordPress
   2. If not, then the plugin is not causing issues with WordPress. Continue to the next step
3. Navigate to the "Troubleshooting Mode" in the top bar again, and enable any other plugin. Then try reproducing the issue.
   1. If you have the issue, then the plugin you just activated is conflicting with the MyThemeShop Plugin
   2. If not, then this plugin is not causing issues with the MyThemeShop plugin

Repeat step no 3 by enabling one plugin at a time and checking if the problem exists. When the problem happens, the plugin you last activated is causing the issue.

 

If the issue is still not resolved, then it might be an issue with the theme you are using. Here is how you confirm if your theme and the MyThemeShop plugin are conflicting with each other.

1. Enter troubleshooting mode again using the instructions above.
2. Using the Troubleshooting mode, activate your regular theme by selecting the 'Use your current theme option'.
3. Activate the MTS plugin you want to check and try to reproduce the issue.
   1. If the issue appears, your theme conflicts with the MTS plugin.
   2. If not, then the issue is with another plugin. You can continue enabling other plugins to pinpoint the plugin and contact their support for a resolution.

Once you complete the above steps, please let us know.

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

thanks for the detailed answer; but...

1. How can I reproduce the issue that is relevant with canonical URL placing on every page by Rank Math SEO while in Troubleshooting Mode every plug-in and theme disabled?

2. then when I activated only Rank Math plug-in in TS Mode and execute SEO Analysis; there was still a warning that says: "No canonical link tag found on your page."   

3. additionally in TS Mode, Ad-Sense theme(the theme I use) activation is impossible, so I think; because cannot be clicked on it in TS menu at the top of the WP screen

so, I confused....

Thank you.

hi, Is there any improvement?..

[BenMTS]

Hello,

I have checked your site and I can see that the canonical URL tag does in fact appear in the source code of all of the pages. So, the issue is only in how the Analysis feature tests your site, there is no actual SEO problem on your site. You can ignore that test for now.

As we could not reproduce the issue on a test install, we would like to take a closer look at it on your site. Could you please provide FTP access to your site so we can try some changes in the plugin code?

Thank you. Looking forward to helping you.

hi,

thank you very much for your help, It's frustrating to see that there are SEO issues in analysis; just a psychological discomfort, Of course it will be better if you solve the problem...

I updated the data with FTP information....
