Hi Jens,
Thanks so much for your feedback – to confirm, you’re talking about these type of tags:
<link rel="canonical" href="http://example.com" />
Is that correct?
Simon
Hi Simon,
absolutely yes 🙂
The so called Canonical Tag needs an absolute path, including the protocol.
It’s one of the most important Tags for SEO.
Jens
Hi Jens,
Yep – implemented plenty of these in my time! Just wanted to check the SEO world hadn’t moved onto something else I wasn’t aware of.
We’ll take a look at this and see what we can do for you.
Simon
The latest release broke my site!
I have a shortcode that generates the output
<form action="https://secure.worldpay.com/wcc/purchase" name="BuyForm" method="POST" id="worldpay">
The plugin stripped the https: and so customers could no longer pay for anything!
How would i prevent this so i can re-enable the plugin?
Hi Bkoyn,
You can turn the protocol rewriting off at any time:

If you can raise a support ticket and ask for it to be sent to me with an example we can take a look for you.
Simon
Thanks Simon!
I turned it off and all is well now.
I’ll try to create a ticket.
The problem is that my site is not HTTPS but the link to eh payment site must be HTTPS so the protocol is not the same.
Thanks again
Hi Bkoyn,
OK – please do send us a ticket with an example page so we can look at a fix for you here.
Simon
We just pushed out version 1.3.16 to update the rewriting to leave canonical urls unchanged. Please let us know if you are still seeing any issue with the canonical urls on your website.
Yeah! You guys rock, thank you 🙂
But what about when site is totally moving to https ?
Can there be an option in the settings to rewritte/not_rewritte the cannonical?
