BBPress pagination not used for canonical

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

Pointing the paginated pages to the main page using canonical helps in avoiding duplicate content issues and it is usually this way.

However, you can try the following filter to force the self-referencing canonical URL of your forum topics:

add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/canonical', function( $canonical ) {
	global $wp;
	$current_slug = home_url( $wp->request );

	if ( is_paged()) {
		$canonical = $current_slug . '/';
	}
	return $canonical;
});

Here’s how you can add a filter/hook to your WordPress site:

Hope that helps.

Thank you.
