Hello @mahii-conception
Thanks for reaching out regarding your canonicals. I couldn’t replicate this in a fresh installation with Yoast SEO 20.0, WooCommerce 7.3.0 and WordPress 6.1.1 with the Twenty Twenty-Three theme. Can you please ensure those are the versions you have?
In the alternative, since I’m having a hard time reproducing this issue in my test environment, do you have or would you be willing to set up a staging environment to run additional tests without interfering with your live site? A staging environment is a copy of your site on your server that allows you to implement and test changes without affecting your live site. Some popular web hosts offer quick setups for a staging site. Please contact your web host to see if this option is available for your site. You can create a staging site using a WordPress plugin if your web host does not offer staging environments.
Hi
Here is the version of my plugins :
WP version : 6.1.1
WooCommerce 7.3.0
Yoast SEO : 20.0
This website ins’t live, it is already a staging website.
How should I send you in a secure way credentials for you?
Thank you very much
Hello @mahii-conception
Unfortunately, we can’t offer personalized support here. In your staging environment, install afresh WordPress 6.1.1, WooCommerce 7.3.0 and Yoast SEO 20.0, then activate the Twenty Twenty-Three theme. Next, test that the canonical tag and the rel=”prev” & “next” are present.
Hi
I’ve found the problem, did you know that the canonical and rel links where not set if you check “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” ?
I do understand that I should uncheck this option for SEO purposes but it’s a staging website this must be checked.
You should put this information somewhere in a FAQ or so because I’ve spend a few hours to understand what I did wrong.
Thanks for sharing. I’m glad to know you found the cause.
