    Hello Programmers,

    I think this section will have people who are experienced in Wordpress and who could solve my probe!

    Here's the issue:

    A wordpress site I got to work has canonical issue. So I tried below things to find solution:

    1) In the setting->general, the URL path in both WordPress address and Site address was set to non www version of the website
    2) Tried to upload .htaccess file in all folders of Root Folder by log in to host server.
    3) Cleared cache numerous times when I did the efforts explained in the above two steps.
    4) Used canonical plugin)download version).
    5) Submitted the issue in wordpress forum 3days ago.

    But I couldn't solve this issue!

    The site runs on both paths: www and non www!
    Later I had found that there is an inbuilt canonical.php file in the root folder, so deleted the .htaccess files that was installed in the second attempt(as in point 2). I think here should be some probe for this solution but I don't know how to workout the code, so I couldn't find a solution!

    So guys please help me find solution to solve canonical issue of this wordpress website.

    FYI: here is the website with canonical probe:

    homefitnessfreak (.com is the domain extension, to check website info please try with www and now www with .com extension)

    The website is hosted on Godaddy.There is All in One SEO pack plugin with canonical option enabled.


    Look forward hearing your suggestions
    Thanks in advance!

    disable the seo pack plugin and if you select url permalinks, wordpress will recreate htaccess and rules.

    Hey buddy,

    is the issue resolved or still there. Basically i would want to check with you on few things.

    1. Make sure you have the latest wordpress version.
    2. Disable All in one seo pack
    3. make sure your permalink structure in the wordpress admin is set to custom structure.

    In addition, please delete the .htaccess and upload a new default .htaccess that wordpress fresh install set has in the wordpress folder and not in the root folder.

    do let me know if it works or give me more information.

    cheers
    Josh

    Deactivated the plugin but I don't know how to deal with permalinks. The permalinks settings to this site is selected under custom stucture: /%category%/%postname%/ . Please tell me what would you recommend in this case because the probe is not yet solved even after deactivating the plugin!

    Not yet solved dude!

    Yes, it is in the latest version 3.0.5. Yes, I have disabled the All in one SEO pack plugin as said by olddocks and Yes the permalinks structure is set to custom structure: /%category%/%postname%/


    The .htaccess file was already deleted from the root folder. And I read in wordpress forums that wordpress versions above 2.5 will have in-built .htaccess file unlike the earlier versions and as I said, this wordpress site is under latest version. Still do you want me to re-install my wordpress files? Ok, I will try that. Thanks
