Split: rel=canonical tag links not to original post (duplicate content)

Hi there,

I have an issue that resembles this closely.

I like Rank Math a lot, but it’s sometimes hard to figure out what I have to not do of what I did before I used it, so as not to duplicate with it.

I am using Generatepress on TwentyTwenty. I have a dual-language site, English (primary) and Serbian. I intend to add more languages later. Before Rank Math I used self-referring canonical tags.

Now, I found that Rank Math sets canonical tags right for all pages except the Serbian home page, which it refers to the English one. Since I don’t want visitors, especially search engines, who visit the Serbian home page to be told that the English one is canonical, I have placed a filter so that Rank Math does not add a canonical tag to the Serbian home page.

However, Rank Math seems to be preventing me from setting my own tag with the correct address.

Can you tell me what I can do about this?

Thanks,
David
