The canonical tag is not appearing correctly on the pagination pages of my blog.

Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the canonical tag on your pagination pages. This can sometimes happen if the canonical URLs are not set correctly in your SEO settings.
To fix this, you can follow these steps:
-
Check the Pagination Pages: First, ensure that the pagination pages are correctly set up in your WordPress site. You can do this by navigating to the Pages section of Google Search Console and checking the index status of your pagination pages.
-
Update the Canonical URL in Rank Math: If you are using Rank Math, you can update the canonical URL for each pagination page. Here’s how:
- Go to the specific pagination page in your WordPress dashboard.
- Scroll down to the Rank Math meta box (make sure you are in Advanced Mode).
- In the Advanced tab, you will find the Canonical URL field. Ensure that it points to the main page of your content, not to itself or another page.
-
Self-Referencing Canonical: If your pagination pages should be indexed separately, ensure that each pagination page has a self-referencing canonical tag pointing to itself. This is important for search engines to understand that these pages are distinct and should be indexed.
-
Test with Google Search Console: After making changes, use Google Search Console to inspect the URLs and check if the canonical tags are now appearing correctly.
If you continue to experience issues, 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!
