Double canonical tag on one page - Support

Hello,

We have a double canonical tag issue on our website registration page.

Since our goal is to only keep one canonical tag on this page, I tried disabling the canonical tag from Rankmath by adding this code in the child theme’s functions.php file :

if ( is_page( 6777 ) ) {
add_filter( ‘wpseo_canonical’, ‘__return_false’ );
remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘rel_canonical’);
}

However, it didn’t work. Can you advise on how to remove the canonical tag from RankMath on only one page in particular?

Thank you,

Francis

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

Please try this filter code instead:
```
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/canonical', function( $canonical ) {
  if ( is_page( 6777 ) ) {
    $canonical = false;
  }
	return $canonical;
});
```
Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.

Hello Jeremy,

Thank you for your quick reply.

Unfortunately, the snippet provided did not work. I added it to our child theme’s function.php file, but we still have two identical canonical tags when inspecting the Inscription page.

Is there anything else we could try in order to remove the canonical tag from RankMath on this page?

Thank you,

Francis

Hello,

I tested the code on my end and it seems to be working just fine.

Can you please try clearing your website cache and check again?

I just verified and I now have one canonical tag as expected. The cache was probably the issue here.

Thank you!
