    wordpress allow website to have multiple tags in the url, for example,

    website.com/tag1,tag2/page/10

    but the canonical only display the first tag1, for example,

    website.com/tag1/page/10

    Since multiple tags in the URL will have more pages, so if tag1 doesn’t have 10 pages, this lead 404 error in google web console.

    Hi Puecon,

    Do you perhaps have “noindex subpages of archives” enabled?

    No.

    Let me give another example of the problem.

    If you go to https://yoast.com/cat/analytics,seo/page/41/, this link contain the posts of all post that have analytics and/or seo as the category.

    If you view the source, it’ll display the canonical as,

    <link rel="canonical" href="https://yoast.com/cat/analytics/page/41/" />

    which is wrong, because that page doesn’t exist, which lead to an 404 crawler error in google webmaster console.

    The correct should be:

    <link rel="canonical" href="https://yoast.com/cat/analytics,seo/page/41/" />

    The same error is prevalent in multiple tags.
