Hello,
Thanks for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Having a canonical URL the same as the page URL means that this page is original and not a duplicate of some other page. If you want to remove the canonical tag from your homepage then you can copy the code given below and paste it into your theme’s functions.php file:
/**
* Allow changing of the canonical URL.
*
* @param string $canonical The canonical URL.
*/
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/canonical', function( $canonical ) {
if(is_front_page() ){
return false;
}
return $canonical;
});
Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any further assistance.
Thanks – this code works well .. FYI I added using Code Snippets.
This is something that may affect other RankMath users ..
I’m still unsure of the impact of this on page ranking but don’t want to risk it on the homepage.
Thanks again for your speedy resolution!
