Meta canonical is mainly for search engines to describe the URL of the page, especially the URL of the page that should be evaluated with priority when there is a risk of duplicate pages, in the head of the page, and to obtain it in a predetermined format. data to convey .
The program that generates and inserts canonical data is the php file below.
 canonical.php | Display the custom field caconical on the article posting screen and save the input content. |
canonical data inserted
The canonical data inserted in the head of the page is a single line starting with meta canonical.
Pages that are particularly likely to become duplicate pages are when there are identical or similar articles between individual article pages and category pages .
Therefore, in “fullSite-Patterner”, a custom field “canonical” is displayed on the posting screen of individual articles, and a form that allows input is prepared.
Normally, you don’t need to be aware of this, as it only needs to be displayed when necessary.
| Front-page | meta canonical automatically inserts the top page URL. |
| Single-page | If meta canonical is entered in the custom field on the article posting screen, Insert that URL. If not entered, the individual page URL is automatically inserted |
| Category-page | meta canonical automatically inserts the category page URL. |
| Page | meta canonical automatically inserts a fixed page URL. |
Decide whether to give priority to individual article pages or category pages based on the contents of the content, search keywords, and the degree of completeness of the content.
