Canonical URL not showing in the Page Source Code

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the canonical URL not showing in the page source code. This can happen for a few reasons. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Check if Rank Math is Enabled: Ensure that the Rank Math plugin is active on your WordPress site. If it’s disabled, it won’t be able to generate the canonical tag.

2. View Page Source: Right-click on your page and select View Page Source. Look for the “ tag in the head section of your HTML. If it’s not there, it indicates that Rank Math is not generating it.

3. Enable Advanced Mode: If you cannot find the canonical URL settings, make sure you have enabled the Advanced Mode in Rank Math. You can do this by going to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO and enabling it from there. This will allow you to set or view the canonical URL.
   

4. Check for Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, other plugins or themes may conflict with Rank Math and prevent it from functioning correctly. You can follow our troubleshooting guide to identify any possible conflicts.

5. Check if the Page is Indexed: If the page is not indexed by search engines, it might not show a canonical tag. You can check this in Google Search Console under the Coverage report.

If after following these steps the canonical tag still does not appear, please reply to this ticket with your website URL so that a human agent from our support team can assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!
