Canonical Tags – ThreeWPBroadcast vs. Yoast

Has anyone had any experience using ThreeWPBroadcast with Yoasts SEO plugin? Is it possible to override Yoasts Canonical tag on particular posts?

There are instances where some syndicated content on our site (posted via ThreeWPBroadcast) should point to the original source (another site in our network) instead we get double / conflicting canonical tags (with the Yoast ones wrongly identifying the child blog as the original).

For example, with content originally published on ABC.com being broadcast to XYZ.com:
```
<strong><link rel="canonical" href="http://abc.com/live-rio-1985/" /></strong>


<title>XYZ.COM | LIVE IN RIO FROM 1985</title>
<meta name="robots" content="noodp,noydir"/>
<meta name="description" content="XYZ.com Rocks"/>
<strong><link rel="canonical" href="http://XYZ.com/live-rio-1985/" /></strong>
```
Ideally I’d like to override the Yoast canonical tags only on these particular posts.

Suggestions?

Hm. I’ll have a look into this week. I’m thinking that Yoast’s canonical callback should be blocked when Broadcast’s canonical linking is enabled.

I’ve had some success… but I’ll have to contact Yoast about a possible modification.

I think I’ve fixed it.

If anyone wants to test the code then send me an e-mail.

Got it. If it fixes the problem then you can go right ahead and mark this as solved. 🙂

This does not appear to be fixed in the latest plugin update. I’m also using the Send To Many plugin. I tested one particular post, and it’s wiping all the Yoast values off of the broadcasted page on all children pages. Canonical is not working even if I tick the box you have to block Yoast’s canonical. I’d be fine if just the canonical worked.

Previous to the Broadcast plugin upgrade and Send To Many install, all the Yoast values were being sent over. If I try to use Send To Many on a post that already had links setup, it break everything.

Page where values are being passed still (haven’t re-linked since upgrade):

Replied via e-mail. This will probably require some hands-on debugging and a couple of hours.
