Issue with Wp Rocket

Hi @cioppi,

The trailing slash needs to be forced with .htaccess when WP Rocket plugin is enabled:
https://docs.wp-rocket.me/article/131-redirection-to-enforce-trailing-slash-on-urls

When it comes to canonical (URL) metatag, do you use some 3rd party plugin (eg. Yoast SEO, RankMath, etc.)?

Best regards,
Maciej

Thanks,
I used Rank Math

Hi @cioppi,

Could you check if the issue with canonical URL persists if:

• my plugin is deactivateed
• WP Rocket is deactivated

Please accept my apology for the inconvenience!

Best regards,
Maciej

Just tried,
the problem still exists only with Wp rocket activated. If I disable everything work right

Ok, I am not certain where the problem is – it looks like WP Rocket strips all the meta tags if HTML minify mode is turned on.

Could you try to enable the native function that displays the canonical URL meta tag? Please add the below line of code to functions.php in child theme directory:

add_action( 'wp_head', 'rel_canonical' );

Done

Ok, I forgot about one important thing.

The metatag with canonical URL is not added when the website is set to “noindex”:

I think that this might be the case.

Try now

Looks like it is working now when the “robots” tag is no longer set to “noindex”:

Now wp rocket is active.

Please flush the cache, it looks like it still stores the expired HTML output:

Flushed

Thank you. Works fine on my side ??

I’ll check tomorrow with chrome developer tool.
Thanks for excellent support.
I’ll fix htaccess and try if everything fine.
Thank you very much.

But problem still exist for URL without trailing slash.

The canonical for URL without trailing slash is canonicalized self. So I have two different URL with same content.

Do you think that htaccess will dove problem?
