   Is there a way in the settings to disable the canonical url for this plugin? I am already generating one for my dynamic page, and this one is screwing it up. Sure would be nice if there was just a checkbox to uncheck...

   Thanks!

   I would also like to be able to disable the canonical URL... the Yoast SEO plugin is creating a canonical non-friendl URL for a WP Custom Content Type and is screwing up the indexing for the search engines. Any ideas??

   I temporarily fixed my problem by commenting out line 10 in class-frontend.php:

   remove_action( 'wp_head', 'rel_canonical' );

   But it will not fix once I upgrade the plugin. It would be nice to have some options as to when to use the canonical URL or disable it altogether.

   Yeah I modified the plugin by passing false as the value for the echo param where it is calling the canonical function.. either way, it's a hack and as you said will be over-written once upgraded. Thanks for your response, hopefully Yoast will add some options.

   Thanx for your hints ... it works nice, but of course only to the next update. I need this option to deactivate canonical urls too.

   I'm also interested - I print canonical URLs manually (cleaner source/no self-closing slash because I'm HTML5-crazy like that). The ability to stop that output would be great.

   Thanks!

   It would be great to hide them, but I've found I can work around most problems with dynamic urls from custom post types/taxonomies by setting explicit canonical URLs for them.

   It wasn't immediately obvious how to do this (at least to me). Go to Yoast SEO > General Settings, untick the checkboxes against the problem post types and taxonomies. Then you can go to the custom taxonomy screens and edit the individual terms, you can put in a custom canonical URL there.

   This doesn't help when you hit the root url of a custom post type, I can't find a setting for that one, but any path through a category/tag/custom taxonomy to pages with using a custom content type can be manually overridden this way.

   I was able to find a solution by viewing these posts:
