    Problem with AMP plugin version 2.4.2

    Hello there))) This plugin from https://amp-wp.org/ – create the self-reference canonical URL – such as THIS: 

    <link rel="canonical" >

    But it must point to the CORRECT (classic) canonical page. Such as: 

    <link rel="canonical" >

    ALSO: In code All CANONICAL PAGES i see this tag: All correctly

    <link rel="amphtml" >

    For this reason, only AMP pages are indexed in the Google index, and ordinary site pages are perceived as “doubles” – informational garbage. How can I solve this problem?

    In this plugin file [class-amp-post-meta-box.php] i found this code in line 192: 

    wp_add_inline_script(
			self::ASSETS_HANDLE,
			sprintf(
				'ampPostMetaBox.boot( %s );',
				wp_json_encode(
					[
						'previewLink'     => esc_url_raw( amp_add_paired_endpoint( get_preview_post_link( $post ) ) ),
						'canonical'       => amp_is_canonical(),
						'enabled'         => empty( $support_errors ),
						'canSupport'      => 0 === count( array_diff( $support_errors, [ 'post-status-disabled' ] ) ),
						'statusInputName' => self::STATUS_INPUT_NAME,
						'l10n'            => [
							'ampPreviewBtnLabel' => __( 'Preview changes in AMP (opens in new window)', 'amp' ),

    So, this code fragment show, that AMP as CANONICAL is FORCED.
    What need to change in code?

    In other, similat topic – i see this resolve (for another plugin, AMP-for-WP):

    add_filter(‘ampforwp_the_content_last_filter’,’jc_fix_ampforwp_canonical’,50);
    function jc_fix_ampforwp_canonical($content){
    $content = preg_replace(“/<link rel=\”canonical\” href=\”([^>]*)\/amp\/\” \/>/”, “<link rel=\”canonical\” href=\”$1/\” />”, $content);
    return $content;
    }

    Hello @vectormapper

    Thank you for contacting us, As we checked your details we found out that WP Meta SEO plugin is responsible for adding the wrong canonical link.

    The WP Meta SEO adds the current URL (AMP URL) on AMP pages as the canonical link, the AMP plugin however adds the correct canonical URL and doesn’t need correction

    We will recommend contacting the WP Meta SEO plugin or Please use an alternative plugin from the list of AMP compatible plugins

    We hope this helps!
