    Hi RankMath team,

    Thanks for the great plugin!
    I face issue with not being able to set canonical URL for archive pages.
    My case is: I have custom post types ( ex. movies ) that can be filtered.
    site.com/movies/ => archive page
    site.com/movies/?order=ASC => Archive page, movies order ASC by title
    site.com/movies/?order=DESC => Archive page, movies order DESC by title

    I want to set canonical url but it doesn’t seems to work:

    `
    add_filter( ‘rank_math/frontend/canonical’, function( $canonical ) {
    global $wp_query;
    var_dump();
    if($wp_query->query[‘order’]){
    $canonical = ‘site.com/movies/’;

    return $canonical;
    }
    return $canonical;
    });
    `

    However the link rel=”canonical” does not show on the front-end

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    Do you wish the canonical to include the current page inclusive of the order term?.

    Please note that Rank math can add canonical URLs to your pages automatically, but only if they are set to index.

    If you want us to check this further, please share some of the affected URLs with us in the sensitive section

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hi,

    The problem was mine – I tried to see the canonical link on the archive page, not when filtering is applied, also bug in my code. Fixed it and all is working now. Will leave the theme here so if anyone face similar issue can benefit from the thread.

    Best,
    Chris
