Google search console error

I’m getting this error in google web console and not getting any views on a recent web story. The tag ‘link rel=canonical’ appears more than once in the document.

I inspected another web story with the same issue: https://www.mythreeseasons.com/web-stories/bucatini-allamatriciana/

<link rel=”canonical” href=”https://www.mythreeseasons.com/web-stories/bucatini-allamatriciana/”><link rel=”alternate” type=”application/json+oembed”
><link rel=”canonical” href=”https://www.mythreeseasons.com/web-stories/bucatini-allamatriciana/”><script type=”application/ld+json” class=”yoast-schema-graph”>

Are yoast and my theme both adding these sequences? How do I correct this?

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

We’re having the same issue with our website. Just uploaded another web story with the same error.

I actually just found this support thread that I didn’t see earlier: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-canonicals/
```
// remove yoast canonical for web stories
function remove_canonical() {
    if ( is_singular( 'web-story' ) ) {
        add_filter( 'wpseo_canonical', '__return_false' );
    }
}
add_action('wp', 'remove_canonical');
```
apparently we can add this code to our functions php file on the theme editor!

@mythreeseasons @brokebankvegan Thanks for getting in touch. This is a known conflict between the Web Stories and Yoast plugins. We’ve reported it to the Yoast team here https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/17419 and you can follow that issue for updates. I’ll also update this topic when I have more info. Thank you for your patience!

@mythreeseasons @brokebankvegan Web Stories has released version 1.12.0, which should resolve the compatibility issue with Yoast: https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/17419.

Please update to the latest version of Web Stories, safely remove the mini-plugin and the temporary workaround code in your functions.php file. Then, confirm the issue is resolved on your end as well. Feel free to open a new support topic if you continue to encounter issues, or reopen this topic and we’d be happy to assist. Thank you!
