loop url canonical

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing regarding the canonical URLs in your loop. To set the canonical URL for each page in a loop correctly, you can do this through the Advanced tab in the Rank Math meta box for each post or page. Here’s how you can change the canonical URL:

1. Edit the Post/Page: Go to the post or page where you want to set the canonical URL.
2. Find the Rank Math Meta Box: Scroll down to the Rank Math meta box on the edit screen.
3. Advanced Tab: Click on the Advanced tab within the Rank Math meta box.
4. Canonical URL Field: In the Canonical URL field, enter the URL that you want Google to consider as the main version of that content.
5. Update/Publish: After making your changes, make sure to update or publish the post/page.

If you have multiple pages generated by a loop and want to ensure they all point to the correct canonical URL, you may need to adjust this setting for each page individually.

If you’re looking for a more comprehensive setup or if you’re facing technical issues, we recommend considering our professional setup service, which is available for PRO subscribers. You can find more information about this service at Rank Math Services.

Thank you for raising this concern! If you have any further questions or need assistance, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent will assist you further.

Hello,

Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.

Please try using this filter code to force our canonical to generate self-referencing URL for paginated pages:

add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/canonical', function( $canonical ) {
	if(is_paged()){
		$canonical = 'https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
	}
	return $canonical;
});

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