link rel=”canonical” duplicated when using Rank Math

Hello,

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

I checked your website’s page source and indeed you have 2 canonical tags. Please see my screenshot here for reference:

Kindly check if there are other plugins or your current theme that might be adding a second canonical tag. To determine that, please follow the troubleshooting guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/

Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.

Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

In this case, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.

Hello,

I have added the filter given below in your theme’s functions.php file and it has removed the canonical tag of Rank Math from your homepage:

add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/canonical', function( $canonical ) {
	if (is_front_page()) {
		return false;
	}
	return $canonical;
});

Please check and let us know if you need any other assistance.

Thanks.
