WordPress version:3.4.2
WordPress SEO version:latest, devel and latest version again
Woothemes Whitelight theme + woocommerce
I did this: deactivated all plugins one by one, reinstall wp seo, upgraded to devel version, deactivated all plugins one by one again, back to latest version again
I expected the plugin to do this: to put proper canonical url/facebook og data and twitter card data in my homepage source
Instead it did this:
<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast WordPress SEO plugin v1.2.8.7 - http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/ -->
<title>TITLE IS OK</title>
<meta name="description" content="NOT HOMEPAGE DESCRIPTION, INSTEAD IT POOLS DESCRIPTION FROM MY FAQ PAGE"/>
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.myurl.co.uk/frequently-asked-questions/" /> ------ should be http://www.myurl.co.uk/

Plugin puts wrong canonical link and metadata on my homepage, when I type http://www.myurl.co.uk - it takes me to my homepage but with wrong canonical in the source, when I remove the "/frequently-asked-questions/" page from wordpress and try to go to my homepage again it takes me to "http://www.myurl.co.uk/frequently-asked-questions/" and shows 404 error.
I found a couple of ideas on this forum but none of them work. All other pages are ok, it's just this one and the most important one ( and the only one I cant edit canonical url for from plugin dashboard. Any ideas how to fix it? I dont want to get rid of this plugin.
