Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention.
Rank Math adds a self-referencing canonical URL by default, meaning if your paginated page is /page/2/, the canonical will be the same.
Could you please confirm if this is not the case on your site? Also, please share the affected URL so we can check as well.
Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
Yes, that’s correct, the canonical remains unchanged when paging.
This is the page: https://inforges.es/blog-inforges/
Hello,
To add self-referencing canonical URLs, please try adding the following filter:
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/canonical', function( $canonical ) {
$current_url="https://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if(false === strpos($current_url, '/blog-inforges/') || is_single()) return $canonical;
$canonical = strtok($current_url, '?');
return $canonical;
});
Here is how you can add filters/hooks to your WordPress site:
