 * 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/](https://www.mythreeseasons.com/web-stories/bucatini-allamatriciana/)
 * <link rel=”canonical” href=”[https://www.mythreeseasons.com/web-stories/bucatini-allamatriciana/”><link](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](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](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fgoogle-search-console-error-18%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   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/](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!

   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](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!

   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](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/web-stories/#new-post)
   if you continue to encounter issues, or reopen this topic and we’d be happy to
   assist. Thank you!
