Canonical Headers

    This looks like very cool plugin.

    Can it/Does it add canonical headers to the posts it creates telling google et al the original source?

    I’m currently using a plugin that does that, and google indexes all the posts and even ranks some of the pages, so I think it is important to comply with this.

    thanks

    Do you mean rel=”canonical”? CyberSyn is an RSS/Atom aggregator. It imports content from feeds, but does not render (display) it. Your blog content is being rendered by your template (theme).

    thanks for prompt reply.

    the autoblogging plugin I currently use takes the feed and generates a post, and adds the canonical header as an option.

    I’ve never seen anything anywhere about themes producing canonical headers on feed generated posts. I think Yoast SEO has an option for manually creating those but not what is required to give proper accreditation to the original source of the article. which I know google looks for and is mentioned in their web spam guidelines.

    Just add the following code to the top of header.php which is located in your theme folder:

    <?php
$link = get_post_meta($post->ID, "cyberseo_post_link", true);
if (is_single() && $link != false) {
	header('Link: <' .  $link . '>; rel="canonical"');
}
?>

    You are welcome. I’m going to add this function to the next release of CyberSyn.
