How Do I Add a Canonical Tag in WordPress?

Adding a canonical tag in WordPress is a simple process that helps you make your content more search engine friendly. When users enter a search term into a search engine, WordPress uses the canonical tag to help determine which posts to show.

To add a canonical tag in WordPress, go to the “Posts” screen and select the post you want to tag. On the “Settings” screen, click the “Advanced” link in the “Tag” column. In the “Canonical Tag” field, enter the canonical tag for the post.

(For example, “canonical”.) Click the “Update” button to save the tag.

WordPress automatically adds the canonical tag to all posts, but you can also add the tag manually. To add a tag manually, go to the “Posts” screen and select the post you want to tag. In the “Canonical Tag” field, enter the tag you want to use.

When you add a canonical tag, WordPress assigns a special keyword to each post that uses the tag. The search engines use this keyword to index the post.

You can also use the keyword to help you find a post in the WordPress archives.

WordPress automatically adds the keyword “canonical” to all posts that use the canonical tag. You can also add your own keyword to each post.
