I see a duplicated canonical tag coming from Rank Math in the source code of my articles, is this by default or is there any way to solve the issue. In some test tools I see it as an issue and I can’t find any way to solve it. Please advice.

Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with duplicated canonical tags in your articles. This can happen if the canonical URL is set multiple times within the same page or if there are conflicting settings.
To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
-
Check the Canonical URL Setting: Ensure that you have only one canonical URL set for each post or page. You can do this by going to the Rank Math meta box on the edit screen of your post/page. If you see multiple entries, remove the duplicates.
-
Enable Advanced Mode: If you cannot find the Advanced tab in the Rank Math meta box, make sure to enable the advanced mode from WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Dashboard.
-
Review Theme and Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, themes or other plugins may also add their own canonical tags. Check your theme settings and any other SEO plugins to ensure they are not adding additional canonical tags.
-
Clear Cache: If you are using a caching plugin, clear your cache after making changes to ensure that the latest version of your pages is served.
If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!
