Wrong canonical URL in paginated URLs

  • Hi
    You shouldn’t indicate the URL of page 1 as the canonical URL of each paginated pages. Each paginated page has its own URL that should be its canonical URL.

    With your implementation, you’re telling search engines to not index paginated URLs, which is really a bad idea of SEO purposes.

    Could you fix that please?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    The canonical is directly indicated by the WordPress core “Nextpage” function, it’s not added nor modified by Multipage. The WordPress behavior is that, in posts with mutliple subpages, every canonical is the main page, then subapges are indicated as “subpages” via the rel next and prev parameters. This is the best practice.

    Recap:
    canonical = first page url (without page parameter)
    next = next page canonical
    prev = previoust page canonical

    Hi
    If it’s really WordPress that is doing that, it’s totally ridiculous because it’s not what search engines recommend.
    This plugin can’t be used because of this wrong behaviour ??
