WordPress SEO plugin Clipper theme = Canonicalization issues by default | WordPress.org

Wordpess Seo plugin by yoast functionality for canonicalization doesn’t seem to work properly with the clipper theme (www.appthemes.com).

If you try the following, you will get my point. For canonicalization, each of the subsequent pages need to point to the main pages. However, with wordpress seo plugin, this is not the case with the home page and the store page, which are the most important pages of a coupon site. The canonicalization system seems to work fine in the blog pages.

See the source code for: http://www.couponminister.in/ and http://www.couponminister.in/page/4/.

The rel=canonical link is always pointing to the page you are on. e.g. for the 2nd link above (page 4), it shows: rel=”canonical” href=”http://www.couponminister.in/page/4/”. It should however, point to the home page.

Same story with store pages (custom taxonomy) – http://www.couponminister.in/stores/flipkart/ and http://www.couponminister.in/stores/flipkart/page/4/

But for the blog pages canonicalization works fine. See: http://www.couponminister.in/blog/ and http://www.couponminister.in/blog/page/4/

Please help to resolve the issue.

You don’t seem to understand canonical links. Please read the explanation here (mistake 1).

Or read a previous thread about this topic.

WP SEO is doing it correctly. Please mark this topic as resolved.

Thanks jrf for the reply.

In case of a standard article, each page will have different content. However, in the current theme, each page will have the same (store description) and only difference is in the coupon titles and desc. See: http://www.couponminister.in/stores/flipkart/. Since, the store description is the main content, which is duplicated on all pages, isn’t it a good idea to point to the first page only?

Also, why would then be a difference in terms of the store pages and blog page link. Is it intentional to have this variation?
