afterburner2 using wrong url for homepage canonical
Posted 8 years 2 months ago
I'm using Afterburner2 template for a site. When I view source on the homepage, I'm noticing a line
<link href="/" rel="canonical" />
It looks like all other pages linked have rel="canonical" as well
I don't have this line on my other 2 Afterburner sites. How is this controlled and shouldn't canonical URL's be full realitve URL's i.e mysite.com/here. It's showing on sub pages <link href="/here" rel="canonical" /> instead.

That would be Joomla... or some other component you're loading within joomla... the template isn't going to set anything like that

Hi, just to close the loop on this - it was an issue in blog software i installed. The reference was coming from a published menu item. The blog software confirmed this is a potential issue so we manually edited a core file with an absolutle URL for now.
