 * I just noticed a major issue with your plugin. The categories and locations point
   to the same canonical. That is very bad for SEO purposes. For instance, I created
   a location named “California”. If I look at the code of the specific page for
   California it shows the canonical as **/listing-location/** instead of showing**/
   listing-location/california**.
 * Same happens with each category, it shows **/listing-category/** instead of **/
   listing-category/category-name**
 * That could be very confusing for search engines since the location and category
   pages point back at the main taxonomy. Do you have any plans to solve this issue?
   I tested it with 2 different themes as well as with or without SEO plugins, therefore
   the problem is coming directly from your end.

 * Hi,
 *  Sorry, currently we don’t update the canonical URL. We didn’t have any hook 
   to update it by default. We are planning to provide support to third-party SEO
   plugins like Yoast. kindly contact our tech team for more details/solution by
   submitting a ticket to our site [https://pluginsware.com/submit-a-ticket/](https://pluginsware.com/submit-a-ticket/).
 * Thanks

 * How is this issue being resolved exactly by pluginsware?
    not sure why solutions
   if there are any may not be discussed here in the forum? Closing issue topics
   without solution would be an odd way of dealing with problems.
